Rock County, MN | From the start menu select (left click) Computer or My Computer then right click on the "C" or primary drive, select properties and then next to the graphic display near the center of the panel that appears select "Disk Clean-up". After a while shorter or longer depending on degree of maintenance another pane with a drop down list - check all boxes then at the top of this pane select Other Options Tab.

I like the Smart Defrag Program made by Obit, it's included in a program called "System One Care-Free" yes it's free, very comprehensive, will help keep your computer shaped-up and it's fast and useful; you can download it here; the download will begin automatically http://majorgeeks.com/downloadget.phpid=5927&file=15&evp=42472cd3f1aa59886cf05e3f3046518e
