Defraging regularly, Although for larger drives it takes a LONG time for
larger Hard Drives, is just as good the same as a re-install.
And is a far less hassle.

The MS operating system tries to be everything for everybody so loads
lots of stuff you may not realy need at startup. And some programs
demand things at start up to even function.

That is a good solution but don't you have to leave the computer power
strip on for it to work?
