My Vista computer is setup to auto-defrag about once a week in the middle of the night. (Vista and Windows 7 are automatically setup to do this when you buy them, so you don't have to worry about setting it up.)
Defrag most certainly improves the performance of a home computer.
Hi CoCo...
I drive myself nuts, trying to keep my pc clean and tidy. I defrag on a regular basis, clean out old files and run virus scan often.
For some reason I am very obsessive about not putting too much on my hard drive, I try and keep it at the very least, 1/2 empty.
Drives my kids crazy, since I refuse to download things they are positive that I need... like the newest video and such.
Enjoy your new found "Speed"...

Good Morning Coco..
I clean the system every day..
It has an auto,but auto always leaves a few Dust Bunnies..
To keep a really fast system:
..Defrag Hard Drive and Registry..
..Clean registry..
..Clean junk files..
Your computer will work like it came out of the box..

Thanks, guys and gals, for all the really helpful info. I couldn't believe the difference!
Much appreciation. Off to work - 6 mile walk.
Love,
CoCo
What are you trying to cover-up when you defrag your hard drive?
Hey now! This is a family forum!
Goshawk:
My understanding is that the files simply become organized; coverup has never been an issue, as CoCo is aka Pollyanna. Huh?!?!?
JD:
You are so right. Family values! Respect for your fellow poster [do you make any exceptions to that?]. Butter wouldn't melt in our mouths. In this case, our typin' fingers ...
CoCo is no longer a fragment of your imagination.
I rarely defrag my windows computers, not because they don't need it occasionally but because I rarely think about it. I've had my Mac for 11 months now and I never thought to defrag it. Reading this thread got me curious, so I downloaded a demo of idefrag. It says my disk is 0.2% fragmented, so I don't think I'll bother with it today.

Thanks, FF, for that bit of info. I was wondering how MAC works. I barely comprehend my COMPAQ ...

I don't bother to defrag. It seems that my computer doesn't slow down at all. I keep most of my stuff on a flash so it doesn't crowd space. Not sure if it would crowd much on a dual core, though.
