Glad to hear it - if you ever find that defrag continually restarts at 10%,
then you need to delete contents of C:\WINDOWS\APPLOG - this directory
contains info about apps you run so defrag can attempt to optimize them -
if the directory gets corrupted, then defrag never gets past 10% - a
problem on Win98 only.
