the files closer together so that the hard drive space
is used more effectively.

2. Click the Start button on the Windows
taskbar.
3. Click My Computer.
4. Right-click the hard disk drive you want
to check.
Your computer may not have defragmenting
software installed or may use another type
of defragmenter.
