Clint,
I only defrag the D drive if I've added, removed or changed something
and only at about the same time that I dfo it to the C drive. I only defrag
sunday night after I get off line. If I haven't changed the D drive in any
way, I don't bother with that one. If I change it the next day, I still won't
defrag until the following sunday, unless I think it needs it.
