How about the No Icon option? (You can still access it by trying to run
Prime95.exe again). And have it configured as a Win95 service. I'm not sure
if my system is an anomaly, but even the Three-Fingered Salute doesn't show
Prime95 to be on the list of tasks to shut down. If the weasel who stole your
laptop doesn't look hard enough, he will then have almost no chance of
finding the program. Heh.
In regards to defragmenting: I have defragmented my C hard drive (where
Prime95 runs) a number of times, and it almost always takes over 30 minutes,
which is how long Prime95 waits before writing save files. MS Defrag (taken
from Symantec - look at the copyright notice!) is just as well-behaved as
good old FAT16 Symantec Norton Utilities' defragmenter. Apparently, when a
program writes to the HD, MS Defrag detects it and rescans the hard drive's
contents. No errors are produced. If you are using a Symantec product, then
it will also be well behaved. I don't know about other programs or non-Win95
systems.
