I know what Applog and TaskMon do: “help” defragmenters do a “better” job. But, after doing a lot of reading and Web searching, I think the Applog should be deleted at least occasionally, if not regularly. There have been some reports of Applog being as big as 30 MB, and a corrupted applog resulting in longer boot times. “With short seek times and high transfer rates of today’s hard drives, [Applog and TaskMon] are probably superfluous.” http://www2.whidbey.net/djdenham/Uncheck.htm “This specialized processing reduces the time required to launch certain programs, but you may prefer to trade that speed for disk space. You’re perfectly free to delete the entire contents of this folder.” http://pcmag.com/print_article/0,3048,a%253D17516,00.asp Give me some reasons NOT to delete Applog, based on your EXPERIENCE, not textbook, hypothetical reasons. Thanks! =============================================

RM Just ran a batch file from Whidbey called applog.bat on the crash test dummy and got rid of 9MB of files. Time will tell if there are any dire consequences. I'll ride her pretty hard for a few days and see if she shows any signs of remorse. Happy trails. shep
