Offline for awhile
I'll be going offline for a few hours - I need to defrag my Windows drive, and Windows really, really sucks at that. Then I'll be cloning the HD so that I can replace this overly small one with a reasonably sized (60 GB) one that corporate IT sent me. I'm sure BottomFeeder will load up with tons of stuff when I turn it back on :)

Safe mode

Windows sucks a bit less at defragging if you boot in safe mode (which keeps misc. stuff from starting up, writing to disk, and causing the defrag to restart). But you probably knew that.

I like the defragger in System Mechanic from Iolo. Worth a look, and free for a month's evaluation :). I liked it enough that I licensed it. It has boot time defragmentation support for system files, and also the ability to defrag selected files.
Of course, you're offline and not reading this, but thought I'd mention it for future reference.
