In Wikipedia fragmentation is described as ,
“When the operating system cannot or will not allocate enough contiguous space to store a complete file as a unit, but instead puts parts of it in gaps between other files (usually those gaps exist because they formerly held a file that the operating system has subsequently deleted or because the operating system allocated excess space for the file in the first place). Larger files and greater numbers of files also contribute to fragmentation and consequent performance loss.”
This is one of the reason why your PC being slow or has decreased performance. The built -in Disk Defragmenter in Windows 7 will help your PC get back into track. This utility was already introduced in the previous versions of Windows but PC users sometimes take disk fragmentation for granted and end up having a slow computer. Defragging your drive will cost you a lot of time so why not schedule it on a different time when you’re computer is idle and you are doing things like cleaning your room or eating lunch!
Windows 7 automatically configures Disk Defragmenter to schedule defragment to run once a week, usually at 1am on Wednesday but I’m asleep at that time and cant afford to leave my PC turned on. So I need to schedule the defragging at my convenience. To open the defrag utility, in your Start menu search box type in defrag and click on Disk Defragmenter.
Click on Configure Schedule and then you can set your defragging in either Daily, Weekly and Monthly and to what day or time would you like your PC to initiate the defragging process. You can also select the disks to be defragged if you are using more that one disk or multiple partitions. As for me I set my Disk Defragmenter to run every 15th of the month at 12 noon, since I know that more likely I would be eating lunch at that time and my PC will be idle.
Click on OK button and your done. The next thing you’ll going to notice will be your PC a little bit speedier than when it was fragmented! :)
The 19 votes is nothing compared to the 1510 votes of the winner, Lily Bartlett! I just joined for fun and try my luck, after all the Red Fox admin told us that representatives from Red Fox will choose 5 entries based on the photo’s appeal and creativity. Those 5 entries will get a Red Fox goodie bag as a consolation price!

). A very useful program to synchronize you files when you are using 3 or more PCs like me. Transferring and copying files from my laptop to my desktop and to my work PC is hassle for me. I can still remember I bought a flash drive to store my documents for ease of access. Just plug it into one of my PCs, edit and update it, and copy it again to my laptop. With Live Sync, I’ll just add the file or folder for synchronization, add the devices where I want that file or folder to be synchronized, select if I want to have an online copy too (to be stored in Sky Drive) and that’s it! As soon as I open my synchronized device it will connect to the cloud, download, sync, and update my files and fielders. The online copy stored in my Sky Drive is useful when incidentally I didn’t bring my laptop with me, I can just access it in an internet café edit it via Office Web Apps, save it and share it! Program settings form Internet Explorer and MS Office can also me synchronized! Accessing my other PC is also possible via Remote Access feature of the Live Sync. This a very cool application I’ll never know what to do again if Live Sync will be gone. There’s one thing that disappoints me, and a big question for me too, why is it that Live Mesh ahs a dedicated 5 GB of online storage while the new Live Sync has only 2 GB? I hope in the final release of the New Windows Live Essentials the 5 GB online storage will be restored
