Disk Defragment

You may notice your system getting slower. The reason is often file fragmentation. This is a result of the normal process of saving and deleting files on your computer being broken into separate pieces and scattered in different places on your disk. Disk Defragment finds those separated file clusters and reorganizes them so each file is stored as one group allowing your computer to operate more efficiently. This process is commonly referred to as Defrag.

To Defrag:

  1. Click Start
  2. Click Programs
  3. Click Accessories
  4. Click System Tools
  5. Click Disk Defragmenter
  6. Click OK
