Defragmenting

Hello everyone, hope you guys made a good start to the New year. In this session, I'll be talking about defragmenting your hard drive. I know the word 'Defragment' spooks everyone out a bit, but its a very simple technique which you can use to optimize and speed-up your cluttered hard-drive.

Basically, when you download a large application, your system installs the file to your harddisk into lots of tiny fragments. So next time when you wish to run the application, your system searches your hard-drive and joins these tiny fragments together to open up the whole thing, which can take a lot of time if you have many such big applications to open at once. This is where defragmentation comes in handy.

There are many freeware defragmenting software available on the internet, along with windows own system defrag, which Im sure none of you digg coz its really slow and more often than not functions very poorly in times of need. The one which I use personally is Jkdefrag. Its a small application which is very effective. You can download it from http://www.kessels.com/JkDefrag/
