Using Disk Defragmenter

Windows NT does not include Disk Defragmenter.
The Disk Defragmenter program helps maintain the integrity of your hard
drive by rearranging files so that unused space on your hard drive is not
scattered around the drive, but is contained in one contiguous area on the
disk.
You may notice, after running Disk Defragmenter, that your programs run a
little faster and more efficiently. That is because the hard drive head can go
directly to the data it needs instead of skipping around to different places on
the disk to find pieces of data.
We suggest that you run Disk Defragmenter at least once a week to once a
month, depending on how much you use your system.
