Have you ever got head ache that your computer is running slower and slower? Even there is no any virus in your computer, it is unavoidable that the computer speed becomes slower, because there are many other factors that influence the computer speed.
In this article, you can learn how to free up disk by deleting certain files in order to speed up your computer.

First of all, clear up system restore point regularly. Restore point is a useful way to get your computer back to the normal state. Open the disk defragment to choose “Other options”—“Clear System Restored Point” and then click “OK”. It is

Secondly, clear up the system temporary file. You can clear up system temporary files. The temporary files are put in two positions generally. One is under the Temp folder of Windows installing directory and another is under the folder of \Documents and Settings\Username \Local Settings\Temp. You can remove both of them.

Third, clear away the temporary files of Internet: you should remove a mess of Internet temporary files to free up disk space greatly. You can open IE browser, in the “Tools” menu, click “Internet options”. In the “General” tab, click “Delete Files” in the “Temporary Internet files” column and tick “Delete all offline content” in the popping dialog box and then click “OK”.

And, compress NTFS drive, folder or file. If your hard disk uses NTFS files system and disk space is insufficient, you can try to start the compressing function of NTFS. Right-click the drive needed to compress, click “Properties”—“General”—“Compress drive to save disk space” and click “OK”, in the “Confirm Attribute Changes” tab, you can choose the ones you want to compress. By doing this, you can save about twenty percent of disk space. It is better to compress the C disk under the “Safe Mode” with better result.

After reading this article, you are bound to take action to free up disk now. And, you also can find more ways in saving disk space with few clicks.

It is unavoidable for any user to defragment disk as long as he wants to improve his computer performance. But, during the defragmentation, a mess of unexpected problems hinder to complete the task perfectly.
Have you encountered that you cannot continue to defragment disk when it is carrying on certain progress? If so, you cannot afford to miss this article, because it will tell you how to solve this problem completely.

When defragmentation is conducting from 1% to 10%, it is the stage of detecting drive programs and reading its information actually. After ten percent of defragmentation, it just begins to defragment from here. If the system is plunged into vicious loop, it is likely because of remaining programs piling in the memory. For example, the anti-virus software or screensaver program disturbs the normal disk scanning and holds back the program to run on the rails which drags the system into vicious loop. And, how to defragment smoothly?

First of all, it is a must to close down all the remaining programs before defragmenting disk. Such programs make system read and write disk repeatedly so that hinder the process of defragmentation.

Second, if defragmenting still can not work after shutting down programs, you should try to detect disk thoroughly by using the order of “SCANDISK” including test surface to find whether there is any problem of disk itself.

Then, if users have not cleared up the fragments in the disks for a long time, it really takes a lot of time to continue the defragmenting process from ten percent to eleven percent. You can click to display the information to open system operation process to see whether the operation falls into vicious loop.

By following the above steps, you can get rid of such head ached problems. And, if you have any other problem, you can click here to find more information about defragmentation.
　

It is known to all that defragmentation can speed up the computer. And, everyone absolutely has defragmented or tried to do it. Some may have encountered such problems that it is impossible to continue to defragment the disk, especially C disk. Well, in this article, you will learn some specific methods to solve it.

The problem is why the C disk can not keep defragmenting?
In the Windows XP system, when conducting defragmentation, the system reminds you that the files of C:\Windows\prefetch\WMIPRVSE.EXE-28F301A9.PF are broken or damaged, so it cannot continue to scan the system.
In fact, C:\Windows\Prefetch\ is the pre-reading folder of Windows XP. The system restores frequent used data in this folder so as to facilitate the reading speed when it needs to read those data again. However, since you use the folder for a long time, the Prefetch folder becomes bigger and bigger, even some broken files are hidden here. So, if you do not take any action to get rid of these junks, it is vulnerable to appear the above problem. And the simple solution to this is to clear up the whole folders and then perform defragmentation.
And, when you find C disk has been overstaffed and computer is running slowly, it is time for you to clear up it immediately. Here are some tips I have been using as follows:
1. Clear up the temporary files in the C disk. Such as the system temporary files with the extension of “INTERNET”. They are nothing but useless which takes up the space largely.
2. Clean up the desktop and the files in “My Documentary” and remove the files with large size to other disks.
3. Form a good habit—do not install application in the C disk as much as possible. If you have installed in it, you had better reinstall them to other disks.
4. Use defragmentation to clean up fragments and clear registry.
Besides, if programs are uninstalled abnormally, such as deleting DEL files directly, you have to clean up the registry. On the other hand, you can delete the remaining uninstalling and used information, archived data and so on.

All in all, it is quite important for you to shape a good habit ofdefragmenting disks. But if the problems happen, besides solving them manually, you can also usesome helpful tools to share the burden.

It is universal knowledge that every computer needs to defragment if you want to keep its high performance. However, in the process of defragmentation, there appear many problems. So, in this article, I would like to share my understandings of defragmentation with you in hope that it can help you solve such problems.

Normally, the system can not defragment disks when starting computer. But, in fact, such function is prohibited by the computer. That is to say, you can enable the function manually.
When starting computer, if Windows XP can perform defragmentation to arrange the necessary files orderly, it is definitely that the starting speed can be improved greatly. Although such function is closed down in the default circumstance, you can activate it by following the steps:
Click “Start”—“Run”, type “regedit” to enter into “Registry Editor”, and click in order to find HKEY_LOCAL_MAHCINE\SOFTWARE\Dfrg\BootOptimizeFunetion. In the right blanket, double-click the value of Enable and change the default key value from “N” to “Y”. Then, your system can defragment even it is starting.

Some people may wonder that can the starting speed be improved if forbidding pre-reading function. The answer is “Yes”.
You can also change your registry. In the “Registry Editor”, open the catalog of “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\PrefetchParameters” in turns, find the subkeys of “EnablePrefeteher”, and add the value of “1” to it. By doing this, you can lessen the waiting time of pre-reading files. It is much easier to enter into loading menu because the schedule bar just needs to scroll a circle.

But, I think you should learn that although you have set the value of “EnablePrefetcher” to “1” to facilitate pre-reading files, the system still has to load a bunch of drive programs, start subsystems and related services. In other word, even you have seen the welcome screen, it does not mean the computer has completed starting process. Does it sound contrary? Well, since the system has to continue to initialize the loading of drive programs, the total time cost in starting the system does not change greatly.

Therefore, it is still hard to speed up start computer by changing certain key values. But, do not worry, you can turn to other useful tools instead of doing it manually.
