Re: Missing 'defrag' and 'Transfer Wizard' on Accessories

Hi:
Many thanks for your help.

I rescued 'Transfer Wizard' along with "Restore' icons, both of which
I put on desktop as following your detailed instruction. Thanks!

However, for some reason I am still not able to find 'defrag,' even though I
looked for it many times.

Wonder where the 'defrag' strayed?

Any idea would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks again for your knowledge and time.

The only other approach I can suggest is the following:

Open Windows Explorer and navigate to the C:\Windows\System32
folder.
Find the file named dfrg.msc.
Right click on it and select Send to -> Desktop (create
shortcut) from the menu.
Navigate to C:\WINDOWS\system32\usmt
Find the file named migwiz.exe.
Right click on it and select Send to -> Desktop (create
shortcut) from the menu.

You should now have two new shortcuts on your Desktop. Right
click the one named dfrg.msc and select Rename from the menu.
Change the name to Disk Defragmenter. Right click the one named
migwiz.exe and change the name to File and Settings Transfer
Wizard.

In Windows Explorer, navigate to this folder:

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start
Menu\Programs\Accessories

In the top right hand corner of Windows Explorer, hit the
"Restore down" button. That's the middle one right next to the
red X. Next, right click the two shortcuts on your Desktop and
drag them into the Windows Explorer window. Release the right
mouse button and select "Move here" from the menu that pops
out.

Good luck

Hi:
Thanks for responses.

I followed the instruction, below. However, the problem
has been not solved,
as seeing there have NO 'defrag,' nor 'transfer wizard'
shortcuts on accessories.

It appears to me that those 'two' hiding somewhere inside
System 32, because I am able to access both by typing on
'Help and support.'

Is there any solution to this problem?

Thanks,

Hi:
When I tried to 'defrag' this morning, I found 'defrag' and
'Transfer Wizard' on system Tools
on Accessories were all gone, although I luckily accessed
both by typing on 'Help and Support'
on Start at the left bottom corner.

How to restore 'defrag' and 'Transfer Wizard,' both of
which are critical on 'System Tools' on Accessories -
Program - Start.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Right click on your Start button and select "Explore All
Users" from the menu.
Navigate to the All Users\Start
Menu\Programs\Accessories\System Tools folder.
Right click an open spot in the right hand pane and select
New -> Shortcut from the menu.
For Disk Defragmenter, enter the following in the location
box,

%SystemRoot%\System32\dfrg.msc


Create another shortcut for the File and Settings Transfer
wizard and enter the following in the location box,

%SYSTEMROOT%\system32\usmt\migwiz.exe

If you're looking for an automated solution, you might want
