What does a defragmenting utility program do?

A defragmenting programme is like a secretary who organises your files on your hard drive of your computer (like a filing cabinet), and your computer can therefore find things faster at start up. It also clears and free's up disc space no longer used by files. You should 'defrag' your computer often, say every eight weeks or so. You should by default have a built in 'defrag' programme with most Windows Operating Systems you will find it via the Start menu. A top tip is I create a 'shortcut on my desktop' for the 'defrag' utility. Hope this helps.

Will downloading games affect your computer?

Well, its a yes and no answer. Downloading a few games, no problem. But if you were to download many unrelenting waves of different games, over and over again, it can cause you'r computer to slow down significantly.

This should show you, step by step, how to defrag you'r computer, which makes you'r computer go faster. You can also make it faster manually by deleting games or other things that you don't want. You can't just delete them, though. You have to uninstall them by right clicking them and clicking the "uninstall" button. Hope this helps!!!

Why wont your computer let you defrag?

If you have certain programs open, such as Zone Alarm, they keep writing to the disc, which cause the Defrag program to start over again. Do a Control +Alt+ Delete to find out which programs are running, and shut down all but Explorer, the drive that you are working with, and the Defrag program.

A weekly defrag is a personal option. There is no need to do this if you are not uninstalling, installing or reinstalling programs. Once a month is just right for a home user who only uses the internet.
