Defragging Simplified

Defragging simplified is a tool in MS Windows that helps improved hard drive performance and in some cases, recovery of lost space. A hard drive that hasn’t been defragged will data stored across many parts of the disk which makes the computer work harder to access them. An un-defragged drive usually occurs with very frequent copy and file deletion.

It is common fact that when you are connected to the internet, there’s possibility of harming your PC. That is the reason why anti-virus software and anti-spyware products are created. Now, getting viruses into your PC is not a matter of choice therefore you should take precaution whenever you are online surfing for that information you want.

Previously we mentioned about Microsoft Windows My Documents folder, its characteristics and how some of us would have scrutinized it – dumping en masse pictures, music files and videos into it.

One disk, one drive

I have to mention that a typical Microsoft Windows operating systems (OS) installation creates only one drive (you guessed it – the C: drive). Which probably means this drive contains the entire physical hard drive space its worth (we’ll touch on this aspect next time).

Since the launch of Windows 95, all versions of the Windows systems comes installed with folder called My Documents. It can be found on the same drive as the Windows Operating Systems, usually on the C drive or simply C:\.

Purpose of My Documents

This My Documents folder is created for each user on the computer, where most applications especially by Microsoft defaults as the folder in which to save files into. These files include images (.jpg, .gif, .bmp), music (.mp3, .wma), video (.avi, .rmvb) and other common documents from the Microsoft Office (.doc, .xls, .ppt) suite.

We do a ton of typing, (or at least our processors do). So when I came across this list of Windows XP’s shortcut I automatically thought it would be a great thing to share with you. These have saved me a ton of time. At first I hesitated to use them, but I started with one, then another, then another. Enjoy!
