Disk Cleanup
Disk Cleanup is a function that comes with all versions of Windows Operating Systems. Disk Cleanup allows for you to scan your entire hard drive to search for extra room by deleting any unneccessary files such as temporary files from the internet and cookies that are downloaded when you visit webpages. Not only does Disk Cleanup allow you to delete simple files from the Internet, but it also allows for you to delete Restore Points, uninstall programs, remove Windows components, and compress old files all in the click of a mouse. You can find Disk Cleanup in Windows XP by going to the Start menu -> All Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> Disk Cleanup.
Disk Defragmenter
The Disk Defragmenter is another tool that comes with Windows and is used for many different solutions. The main function of the Disk Defragmenter is to reassemble fragmented files. Whenever a file is modified in any way, the computer stores the file in broken pieces across the hard drive rather than putting the whole file in one spot. This can lead to system malfunction and poor performance because your computer must search for all the pieces of a specific file before it can display it. The Disk Defragmenter searches for all pieces of every file on your hard drive and reassembles the files into a specific location. This increases the speed at which files are displayed and results in less delays when opening files or programs.

∙ 11y agoThe difference is like "Chalk" and "Cheese"! Rather basically, Microsoft Windows is propriety software, and has to be registered, licensed and paid for! Ubuntu is open-source, community maintained and free software. Windows has a registry and uses lettered partitions (C: D: E:, and so on). Ubuntu is classed as a tree directory (ie, all files and folders stem from the Root)! In fact, the differences are too many to list here.
