As far as using "anything that's been suggested", find local tutorials and help files for each program. Of course the article isn't going to go step-by-step through a defrag process, because the process is different for every user and every machine. This article's purpose is simply to help point in the right direction.]]>Mar 24th 2009 4:29PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/02/12/10-ways-to-speed-up-your-computer-now-9/http://www.switched.com/2009/02/12/10-ways-to-speed-up-your-computer-now-9/Feb 16th 2009 1:53PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/02/12/10-ways-to-speed-up-your-computer-now-9/http://www.switched.com/2009/02/12/10-ways-to-speed-up-your-computer-now-9/
This is a nice introduction to the idea of defragging. Don't believe me?

Apparently, it moves the fragments without telling the computer where it's moved them. This means that the computer cannot find the rest of a file - and if it takes a long time to run a file when the computer knows where the rest of the file is, think about what happens when the computer is utterly lost!

Smart Defrag, however, has only good reviews.]]>Mar 24th 2009 4:21PM
