Re: Disk defrag report message

Open a Command Prompt window and enter

DEFRAG X: > C:\Defragreport.txt

Where X is the actual drive letter you want to defrag. After DEFRAG is complete, the Defragreport.txt file will contain any information that was outputted to the screen.

Thanks for your response. I will close Google - Outlook not running. The file
that wouldn't defrag is at the end of a long path string. Will I be able to
widen the report layout so I can see the total path? I just need to know the
actual file name at the end of the path.

Will start the defrag. Thanks. Norm.

If you are running Outlook or Google Desktop during defrag kindly close
