• Disk Tune provides three verification levels: Verify (slow–ensures data
written to a new cluster can be read), Compare (slowest–compares a
relocated file's contents against the original to ensure it is exactly the same),
and None (fastest).
• Ordering by Task–(Windows 98 only) Windows 98 tracks how often each of
your programs are used and maintains this information in an application
log file. If you select the Ordering by Task option, Disk Tune uses this log
file to place the most often used programs at the front of your drive, so the
programs you use most often start as fast as possible.
The File Placement tab
Disk Tune classifies your disk into five regions: Top, High, Middle, Low, and
Bottom. You can group your files into five categories: Windows Components,
Recently accessed programs, Recently modified files, User specified files, and
All Other Files. There are two additional categories: Free Space and
Unmovable files.
The File Placement tab lets you decide where the five file categories (such as
Windows Components) should be located in the regions of the disk. Normally,
you should put the programs and files you use most often at the front of the
disk (where access times are the quickest).

NOTE: When the hard drive is organized using the Ordering by Task
option, other defragmenters might see the drive as highly fragmented.
TIP: The options you specify in the File Placement tab only apply when
you run a Reorder and Unfragment.
