Hi all, I just got a new machine with Windows 7. I like the Defrag program from my old XP machine much better and was wondering if it can be copied and installed on my new 7 machine. I had success doing similar with XP Paint, copied and installed on 7 machine and it works fine. If anybody knows I'd appreciate hearing from you. Thanks.
