Re: [Blind-Computing] Defragging and Maintenance for Win/7
hi Trish, defragmenting more than once a month is as far as I see and know useless unless your doing a lot of file intensive and altering things on a daily basis. about once a month is more than enough for most regular computer users, just you need to remember to do it then! I use a alternative to the windows defragmentation application that is faster than the windows version called auslogics disk defragmentation: http://auslogics.com/en/software/disk-defrag but if you wish to work with and re assign the time of the windows application, it is in my windows 7 useful hints download off my grab bag site: http://grabbag.alacorncomputer.com along with numerous other useful hints for windows 7 use and repair. or you can follow the tips out of one of it's files, windows 7 tips and tricks below: Setting up scheduled defrags is easy: 1. Click the Start button, type defrag, and click Disk Defragmenter. 2. Click Configure schedule. 3. Choose a time when your computer is turned on, but you are not using it. 4. Click OK and Close to save your settings Your disk will now be defragmented regularly.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Defragging and Maintenance for Win/7
Hello. If I remember correctly, the defrag option should be under maintenance in the control panel. You can also access it by going to start, all programs, accessories, system tools, and then selecting disk defragmenter. As for whether or not you leave your laptop turned on, that is a personal choice. If you leave it on, it will automatically defrag at whatever time you have set. But leaving it on obviously consumes power, either from the battery or the ac adapter. hth Josh - Original Message - From: Trish trishzoellers-sc...@austin.rr.com To: blind computing list blind-computing@jaws-users.com Date sent: Mon, 15 Apr 2013 10:11:39 -0500 Subject: [Blind-Computing] Defragging and Maintenance for Win/7 Hello, Where do I find the Defrag for window's 7?

Re: [Blind-Computing] Defragging and Maintenance for Win/7
Hi Trish, As in Windows XP, I just go to, Computer, select the drive I want, and then open the properties to perform cleanup and defrag.

Thanks Josh, I wasn't aware I could do it this same way as I had done in xp, that's pretty handy.
