Answer 1

Defragmenting benefits your computer hard drive's access speeds by moving data that has been scattered over the surface of the hd platters toward the center, and by combining files that have been written in non-contiguous areas.

There are some good free defraggers available. Personally, I use UltraDefrag. Here's the link:

Do not waste your time using the defrag function built into Windows. It is slower than molasses in January.

Answer 2

Shut down all running programs and click start.....programs......asscessories....... tools and then .....defrafmenter. Then choose drive C and click start!

There you go on your way!

Using a registry cleaner can clean up your computer and then make your computer faster,Why?the reason is that there may be some registry errors and remnant,corrupt files and temp files in your computer to cause "computer slow".

Every time you install and uninstall software on your computer and surfing online you create junk in the computer registry.over time, the registry can grow to enormous proportions, especially if the various programs you've installed do not do a good job of deleting and/or updating it's Registry entries.You need to scan and clean your computer with registry cleaner to make it fast.Good Registry Cleaner will improve your computer and Internet performance dramatically!
