How to defragment your hard drive

De-fragmenting a hard drive is a good thing to do on a regular basis. If you install programs on your computer, and then go to delete a program or file, it takes that section out of the hard drive. And then when you add a program or save a file to your computer, it sticks that program/file to wherever it can find a place. So, one program could be scattered over different places on a hard drive. In order to defragment, go to "Start>My Computer" right click on the hard drive you want to defragement, usually the "C:" Hard drive, and select "Properties". Go to the tools tab, and click the button that says "Defragment Now". A new window will come up, and then just click the button that says "Defragment".
