Perform the following:

1. Right-click on your Desktop and select: NEW > SHORTCUT
2. In the Create Shortcut window, type in: %SystemRoot%\System32\dfrg.msc , and click "Next"
3. In the next window, type in: Disk Defragmenter , and click "Finish"
4. A Disk Defragmenter shortcut icon will appear on your Desktop.

If you dont mind missing the built in tool, just download and run
Diskeeper, here's the free version.

Aha.. getting closer now.
Tried installing Dinkeeper but got something about 'cant run services'
So i tried Start/run/gpedit.msc to try and sort something out.
Geuss what, I get 'Access is denied'
My comp boots up without having to enter Name or password etc. Great. I am
the only user.
Over the 2 years Iv'e had this comp I have reinstalled the system 2 or 3
times. Without wiping the hard disk.
As a consequence I've ended up with 2 user names and 2 'Documents and
settings'. Only one of which is now used, of course.
A right mess.
How do I become sole owner and user of this machine? Preferably without
another reinstall.
