I read an article on tips for a faster hard drive.

I used to be very good with defragging the computer and keeping the temp files cleaned up. I did it every week. I surf through a lot of pages on the net so it really seemed to help to improve performance a little bit. I've just gotten lazy about it lately. Thanks for the freebie sites.

This is EXCELLENT advice. I try to do it a couple times a week because I am constantly downloading, deleting, and creating and saving. Also, being on the Internet tends to mess with your hard drive, in spite of your best efforts to use good firewall and antivirus and antispyware?

Those are some really nice tips that you are giving us and I am sure all will agree they are very helpful: thanks azillion;)+

I have always defragged monthly .. or even more often if I have done a lot of downloading and deleting .. I always explain defragging as being like a huge pile of filing .. if you just put each new document on top of the last document it won't be in any kind of order .. and to find one document from the hundreds will take quite a few minutes .. but if you file each new document properly either alphabetically or in date order .,. you can go virtually directly to the document you are looking for in seconds .. And that's exactly what defragging your computer is doing .. it takes all the new information that has been entered one after another and sets it up properly in perfectly filed order .. that's why it's better for your computer .. it's a lot less work for the hard drive .. and it quite a lot faster in computer terms .. it might only be a few nano seconds to us .. but that's a BIG difference in computing ..

ya this nice information i usually do with my hard disk i also system mechanic also it has defragment tool also i had used it.it has fasten better

when i defragged my computer and ran crap cleaner, i freed up a lot of space on my hard drive and also my computer can access files faster so definitely it is worth it.

This is all said and good. I have AllumeXP and it leads me through all the things to keep my computer running smoothly. I went to defrag over the weekend and it said that I did not need to. Great! Seems alot of work to go to those sites when I have one thing that will lead me through it all and even more things. I hope it helps someone just pays to know what else is out there.

We defrag if it is advised that we have to defrag. We also use the CCleaner everyday before shutting down the computer, yes, it's a free tool we downloaded from the internet. We also use the AVG, etc. if necessary. Thanks for giving such information.

I defrag every couple of months and it helps a little.

Great information thanks for sharing. I use ccleaner all the time, almost daily. I downloaded the duplicate file finder...thank you. I think it's been a month or so since I defragged though. I guess I better do that too...lol Thanks again. I get a lot of downloads from file hippo. http://filehippo.com/

I'm not a fan of PC World, but that is good advice. CCleaner is a good program and Defragging often is a good idea. Duplicate file finder is a good program, but only delete duplicate files if you know what they are. Some games have duplicate files as backups. Important drivers also back themselves up.

To remove duplicate files I used DuplicateFilesDeleter.It is a simple & safer to use tool
