How to run Disk Defragmenter in Windows 7
Description: Running a defragmentation can improve system performance.
- Begin by going to the Start Menu, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, Disk Defragmenter.
- This will open Disk Defragmenter. From here, you can schedule a defragmentation, analyze the contents of the hard disk, or do an on-demand defrag.
- To begin defragmentation, choose the hard disk to defrag, and click Defragment Disk.
- The process will begin to analyze the disc, and begin the defragmentation process. This process does take quite some time, so slow progress is normal.
- The progress is available in the right column.
- The process can be cancelled at any time, without any disk damage, by clicking Stop Operation.
