Windows includes two utilities—Disk Cleanup and Disk Defragmenter—that help you free up more space on your hard drive and help your computer work more efficiently.
• Disk Cleanup compresses your old files so you can free up storage space.
• Disk Defragmenter scans your hard drive and consolidates files that may be scattered across the disk
Not sure how often to run these utilities? It's really up to you—some people like to run both weekly, others prefer monthly, and a few only run them every few months. It's not a bad idea to do both at least once a month. Windows Vista users take note: Disk Defragmenter is automatically scheduled to run once a week (Sunday at 4 a.m.). You can change the scheduled time for this feature or turn it off, if you prefer.
To find both programs, click Start, ----> All Programs, then ----> Accessories, and then choose ----->System Tools.
