I unistalled Symantec Norton Internet Security 2004. Now when I go under control panel > performance and maintenance, there is no option to defragment the computer. Even when I right-click > properties > tools on my harddrive icon, the defrag option is not there. I am running winxp home. Did Norton take over my defrag option when it was installed? If so, how do I turn the defrag option back on? Your help would be most appreciated.
 
oh...and how do u change your name? I want to change to something else but I couldn't think of something....
 
Mine also disappeared from Local Disc C:properties but i was still able to access the defrag thru System Tools

Was able to restore it in C:properties by going to Control Panel - Administative Tools - Performance - File - Options - Disk Cleanup and delete files
