Start Windows in Safe Mode. This is not mandatory, but it helps to avoid complications from other programs that are running in the background. This also speeds up and streamlines the process.
Uninstall any programs you do not use or need. It is best to uninstall programs prior to a defragmentation, as the newly-acquired free space will generally be located all over the hard drive, thereby giving rise to fragmentation.
Make sure that all unnecessary programs are closed. If you have already started in Safe Mode, then this has already been done.
Cancel any programs that are scheduled to run. If you have not manually scheduled any programs to run, then skip this step.
Delete any temporary files. This is done by running Disk Cleanup. To run the program, go to: START -> Run, and enter cleanmgr in the window.
Run the Disk Defragmenter Program. Go to START -> Run, and enter dfrg.msc in the window. A window that is similar to the one below should appear:
Make sure that your desired drive is selected [C: being the default drive], and click on the Defragment button.
Sit back and relax as your computer organizes your fragmented files.



Tips [edit]Defragment your computer overnight. If you have never defragmented your computer before, and you have a large hard drive, the process can take several hours.
You can also access the Disk Defragmenter via the Start menu by going to START -> Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> Disk Defragmenter.
The more often that you run the defragmenter, the quicker the process will be. Generally, once per month is good.
Remember that defragmenting takes the saved portions of all of your files and organizes them to help your computer run more efficiently. Keep in mind that some files (such as critical system files and boot procedure files) cannot be moved.
If the Defragmenter keeps restarting, and you have not already run your computer in Safe Mode, do so. See the Related wikiHows section below for the steps to start your computer in Safe Mode.
An alternative to defragmenting is the use of a program called Diskeeper. It is very useful, since it can defragment your computer while your screen saver is running. You can work (or play) on your computer when you're defragmenting because it has a technology called I/O smart, where if your computer is doing something big, it will pause until your computer is finishing. You can also set the priority for defragmenting so that it won't pause every time that you do something little.



Warnings [edit]Unless you choose "Safe Mode With Networking", you will not be able to access the Internet while in Safe Mode. Make sure that you know how to access the Defragmenter program before you enter Safe Mode.
If you are using Windows 95, 98, or ME, do not use your computer during the defragmenting process, since this may restart or hinder the process.
While uninstalling, if you are unsure what a program does, don't remove it until you know for sure if you need it or not.

Assuming you are running XP, go to Start>All Programs>Accessories>System Tools>Disk Defragmenter and click on it. Run the defrag program.
It will help to speed things up a bit but is not the only answer. I suggest that before you run this, you run Disk Cleanup which is also under System Tools. That will clear off some of the temporary files etc.

until eventually now you even start up, why do you think of you could desire to? Defragmenting isn't some thing you could desire to do until eventually the stress is enormously fragmented. some drives choose defragging each week, some can pass years without it. as with every issues concerning to desktops, do not restoration it until eventually it rather is broken. human beings like me make an excellent sort of money from people who "restoration" issues of their desktops that don't choose fixing. i might quite shop you from breaking some thing than make some greater money. (a thoroughly fragmented tension will nonetheless artwork fantastic, it will purely load courses a sprint slower. If it rather is fragmented under 25%, you will in no way observe the distinction after defragging - that could take hours.)

Click start, ALL PROGRAMS, accessories, System Tools and then Disk Defragment. You have to leave your computer while it defrags. Make sure all automatic virus scanners and all programs are closed.

Start Menu/All Programs/Accessories/System Tools/Disk Defragmenter Then just leave your computer to it. If it's bad it may take a couple of hours but it's worth it.
