Will WIndows XP Defrag program work on Windows 7?

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.

 

are you talking about the defrag program that comes with xp? if so there are much better ones out there than that.most of them are compatable with win 7.and free as well.

 

Hi Aldan, yes, I refer to the one that came with XP. I like it much better than the one that came with 7. If you can suggest any as good as XP's or better that are free I'd be grateful. Thanks.
