Disk Defragmenter
Disk Defragmenter is based on the full retail version of Executive Software Diskeeper. The version that is included with Windows XP and later provides limited functionality in maintaining disk performance by defragmenting volumes that use the FAT, FAT32, or NTFS file system. Defragmenting a disk minimizes head travel, which reduces the time it takes to read files from and write files to the disk.
To start Disk Defragmenter, use the Properties of Your Local Disk:
- Open My Computer.
- Right-click the local disk volume that you want to
defragment, and then click Properties.
- On the Tools tab, click Defragment
Now.
- Click Defragment.

Registry Tools
The Windows Registry can be considered as a database of all the settings for the Operating System and all programs etc that are installed on your machine. Over time the Registry can become cluttered as not all programs properly remove registry settings once un-installed, this can result in an un-stable PC and can affect your machines performance. Editing the registry should never be attempted unless you are certain that you know what you are changing.
