yes, that is if you' re running windows XP & below.
There are a number of things one can try to speed up Windows XP. One can use a registry cleaner to remove unwanted files or use the defrag tool. One can perform a disk clean up and remove files that are no longer needed.
It can automatically run a defrag on whatever schedule you tell it to. You pick the day and time and it will start defraging at that time by itself.
Some common reasons for problems in defragmentation are- (1) Not enough disk free space since the XP defragmenter needs atleast 15% free disk space to defrag. (2) Fragmented system files such as the Master File Table (MFT) or the Page File. The XP defragmenter cannot defrag these. You can clear up some disk space by doing a disk cleanup with the 'Properties' option by right clicking the drive in 'My Computer'. To get around these issues, especially (2), you'll need a third party defragmenter such as Diskeeper 2009. Diskeeper can also defrag in very low space conditions, as well as defragment the MFT and Page File. You may need to run a boot-time defrag after a conventional defrag to completely defrag these system files.
With Windows XP if any programs (even those running in the background) or the screensaver interrupts the defrag, it will restart/hang. In Vista, the defrag is designed to defrag at a certain schedule in low priorty in the background. In order to defrag and use the PC at the same time you need to use an automatic defragmenter like Diskeeper which runs in the background in invisitasking mode and defrags silently without conflicting with other programs.

The very best way to run defrag is to startup your PC in Safe Mode and then run the defrag. Safe Mode is available by rebooting your PC and start tapping your F8 key (I tap it about once a second) until a menu comes up asking how you want to startup. Select the Safe Mode option and enter. ... if you're in the normal mode close all applications that are running then defrag but still the best way is "to run defrag is to startup your PC in Safe Mode..."
By installing Windows XP, with the Windows XP CD that is in case, when you bought it.
