DEFRAG TOOLS[hr]
Windows is very inefficient when it comes to putting files back where it got them. This leads to your computer working harder and taking longer to do stuff. Frankly, the built in defrag program in Windows sucks. Here are a few
FREE tools you can use to help this.
IObit SmartDefrag (I am currently testing this, and so far it works surprisingly well) This is a very user-friendly, and customizable defrag program that you can use manually or automatically.

This actually runs in a command prompt (DOS like screen, dark, blinky line) which makes it more efficient, but the "GUI" means that is has a Windows interface (Windows based controls) so you don't have to touch the command prompt yourself. Works extremely well, can be used in addition to the others above.
