This is a neat little program that will scan your computer for fragmented files and remove them. Fragmented files occur with computer's age, and are pretty much the result of scattered files from deleted programs.

Ideally, you only want your computer to be up to about 10% fragmented, so if you find that your computer is 60%, you may be experiencing massive slow downs. Defraggler is a great program that I really have to recommend to anyone who doesn't have it. I would try downloading it at Ninite, where you can also pick up some other great programs.

Um, don't PCs already have a built in defragmentation program? I know they used to. Mine does.

Well this is a surprise. Perhaps mine doesn't have one since it's a laptop.

DN go to your start menu and type defrag into the search box, see what comes up.

Sure enough, I have Disk Defragmenter, but after opening it up and taking a look, I didn't like it quite as much as there are less visuals to give a better idea of how much of what files your computer is storing.

Well if it's a more in depth program then go for it. To me it just seems like cosmetic differences, I'll stick with my built in dealy.

Definitely, but looks can be receiving.

Yeah but looks are also only skin deep.

Good skin can go a long way.

While that is true it's worth noting that beauty fades but dumb is forever.

Since when is Defraggler dumb?

Well I was actually saying that because I wanted to counter your post but if it doesn't do much besides some cosmetic extras then it is kinda dumb. I'm not saying it's bad or that you're stupid for liking it though. I just find it dumb and don't care enough to try it. Ya know?

I getcha, I getcha. I just find the visuals to be an addition to help you feel more in control over your computer.

You don't have to justify your reliance on cosmetics to me. I get ya.
