Windows 98 power users are gonna love this tip: when was the last time you ran the Disk Defragmenter? Well, you should do it often (especially if you download stuff day and night). You'll want to run DEFRAG with as few programs loaded into memory as possible (for optimum defragmentation). Pop in your Windows 98 CD, go to the \Tools\Mtsutil folder, right-click on Defrag.inf and select 'Install'. When you reboot, DEFRAG will automatically run before any other system component is loaded. When you want to DEFRAG again, just repeat this tip!
