I am having problems with opening and closing directories in Windows98
Second Edition.  For directories that haven't been open for awhile,

directories just created.  However all files and programs open fine

I am unable to defragment my computer.
I am using Windows 98.
Once I start defrag "drive C" I have kept all night long,
even in the morning It was 0%.

Windows 98:  When I try to defragmate.  The first thing I
do it shut everything down, off line.  To be sure it is
all shut down, I Ctrl-Alt-Del, and end task on anything
that won't shut my computer down.

Recently defragment tool hangs at 10% no matter how long
it is run.  Can this be fixed?

I have a friend with a "Brand X" computer.  He knows very
little about it, not even the CPU speed.
Does anyone know of a utility that reveals that info that
he could download?  His OS is Windows 98, just like mine.

Does anyone know why Defrag in Win 98SE continues to
restart and never finishes?  It has been running for over
24 hours and gets nowhere.  I quit all other applications
before I started Defrag and there are no disc errors.
