I have followed with interest recent postings about defragmenting hard disks
and I wonder if anyone on this list more qualified than myself - they can
hardly be LESS qualified!!! - could comment on the following.
I have heard that defragging disks is not to be advised when running such
access technology as JAWS, for instance. The reason given for this is that
defragging, by its very nature, moves files around and has been known to
move vital JAWS files around, thus screwing up the programme, or at the very
least causing some difficulties. If this can be the case with JAWS, does it
not stand to reason that it can apply equally to other access programs.
If anybody would like to comment on this I would be appreciative.
In the meantime, happy new year to you all.
DOREEN.
