Call up a command prompt in Windows and type "DIR /v".

You will do a double-take when you see how much space is wasted.

A shortcut on my desktop is taking up 8k of disk space.:shaking:
So as through a glass, and darkly
The age long strife I see
Where I fought in many guises,
Many names, but always me.

There are only 10 types of people in the world , those that understand binary and those that don't.

Well, most filesystems are like that. Unless you use reiserfs, you will be the victim of slack space.
Science alone of all the subjects contains within itself the lesson of the danger of belief in the infallibility of the greatest teachers in the preceding generation . . .Learn from science that you must doubt the experts. As a matter of fact, I can also define science another way: Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts. - Richard Feynman

Defrag seems to achieve very little under XP. And somehow I doubt that this is due to XP being efficient in the first place.

It's a result of the NTFS file system more than WinXP, it supposedly doesn't need the same level of defragging that FAT32 did to remain relatively fast.
who needs a signature? ;)
