If you are wanting to Defrag your computer to speed things up, below is information for defragmenting in Windows XP plus some other info to help speed things up:

  Go to Start → All Programs → Accessories → System Tools → Disk Defragmenter → select (highlight) the drive you want to Defrag and click Analyze. After analyzing a window will pop up telling you whether you need to Defrag that drive.

  Before you Defrag you might want to do the Disk Cleanup. Follow the same instructions for getting to the Defragmenter but choose Disk Cleanup instead which is right above Defragmenter.

  If you don’t have a registry cleaner, check out the one below:   Eusing Free Registry Cleaner is good and relatively fast.

I run it at least once a week.

  If you don’t have a good anti spyware / adware program, consider:   Spybot - Search & Destroy removes spyware and it’s FREE.

I also run it weekly.

  If you don’t have a good anti-virus program, I highly recommend AVG:    AVG is a FREE anti-virus program that is excellent

If you use your computer a lot or a lot of other people use your computer then you can set it to automatically run each day during a time that you don’t usually use your computer. Otherwise just set it to run once a week.

  You can actually use your computer while each of the above tasks are in operation but you will find that your programs run slower while the task is in progress.

        Simply a Rose to brighten your day,         And maybe lessen the cares in your way;         And also, too, to help you to know,         That in knowing you, many others grow!
