How to run defrag without problems
Run defrag without problems through registry. You can do this just by setting different value of the certain registry DWORD. (Windows 9x/ME)
The following are the detailed and exact steps.
- Click the Start button, and then click Run.
- In the Open box, type "regedit" (without the quotation marks), and then click OK.
- In Registry Editor, locate the following registry key:

\Disable loadqm.exe
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Applets\Defrag\Settings
