Defrag File count

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.newusers (More info?)

Hi,

It depends on how they count files. Some defraggers will count a .zip file
as "1", some will count the files in it (which will obviously be more than 1
in most instances). Same thing for other compressed files, .cab for
instance.

Hi Thomas,

Yes, I guess I should have stated that it's how the AV program counts the
files. It's not the program type that is important here, it's more a matter
of explaining why there is a difference in the counts. Many different
programs, including differeing defraggers (or different AV programs) will
count files differently.
