Answer Line: Share Programs the Easy Way on a Multiuser PC

Give multiple users of a single PC access to any program; resume interrupted downloads at the point of failure; confirm that a used PC isn't stolen property; delete items from the Startup tab of Win 98's Msconfig; convert .gif files into .ico files.

Defrag Automatically

You probably already know how to create a shortcut and set up a task in Windows' Task Scheduler. You might even know how to write a batch file. But if you want that shortcut, task, or batch file to defrag your hard drive automatically, you'll need a command line that automatically loads, runs, and then exits Disk Defragmenter. In Windows 98 and Me, the command is defrag c: /noprompt. In Windows XP, it's defrag c. For Windows 2000, you need the free, downloadable AutoDeFrag program from MorphaSys.
