Best Answer

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.
