When I go to my NT workstation C drive Properties> Tools> Defrag it sends me to my C drive Contents. Now i know i do have a disk defrag program, but i can't understand what happens that my defrag takes me to my C drive contents. Any Ideas how i can rectify this situation? thanks.

Are you sure you have a defrag utility? Windows NT does not ship with one...though there are third party solutions available. I know Executive software has Diskkeeper (what I use) and Norton (Symantec) has an NT-Defrag...I'm sure there are others.
If you do have one installed, you may need to re-install it. It appears NT does not know what application to run...

Hope this helps! Good luck!

Alpha is correct if you have an NT 4 workstation. NT 2000 Professional workstation has a defragment program. It's here:
C:\WINNT\System32\dfrg.msc

I personally love Symantec's system works with its Speed Disk (defragment program) and WinDoctor(Scan and repair program). I recommend this to all my non-techie friends and family. Windows XP has to have 2002 version of System Works.
