Double click 'My Computer', then right click once on the drive you wish to defragment (usually C:/), select 'Properties' from the drop down menu and left click it, then double click the 'Tools' tab at the top and select 'Defragment'.

From your start menu, find Accessories, left click to open list of accessories choose System Tools, left click, choose defragment (left click), choose the drive you wish to defrag, usually C/:, left click and it will start the defragmenting process. If you have never defragmented before, it may take awhile, so don't be alarmed. It also a good idea to close any programs you may have running, as this slows down defragmentation. Good luck!!

No! In fact, it's best that you're NOT online while doing a defrag. Anytime defrag hits a part of a hard drive where the information is changing, defrag restarts doing that portion of the drive.

How do you run defrag with vista?

As far as I am aware, in Vista, you can't select specific drives to defrag. It's all or nothing. Do note that Vista uses a type of automatic defrag. That said, the automatic defrag in Vista is not as good as some of the third party solutions. The commercial defragmenters offer more control and features than the Vista defragger. Generally, automatic defrag is better than older manual or scheduled defragging since defragging takes place in the background without user intervention. Files are maintained in an optimal condition while the user can continue to work on the PC as usual.
