The computers nowadays are made to be beneficial to the users in such a way that it has automatic functions. For example, they block threats as soon as they detect them. The auto-function of computers ensures the users that whatever they're doing will be saved in case there is power outage or any other technical problems. It is totally impossible to live without computers. They provide an instant means of communication to loved ones around the globe. They transfer and store precious information. They play all kinds of media files. The only thing it can't do is arrange everything. It is the owner's task to arrange everything according to his or her preference. The real thing that the computer provides is a large disk space. So, how can one make organizing files on a computer with Windows 7?

There is a program called a disk defragmenter. If one looks in his or her computer, he or she will surely find this program in there. Depending on the person's needs, there are other versions available to be bought or downloaded in the internet. No matter what version one chooses, the most important thing is that they perform the needed job. Let the imagination wander off and think of autumn leaves being shed by the tree. They're scattered everywhere around the lawn.

Soon enough, people will find it very hard to control the presence of leaves on the ground. They'll get in the way. And no home owner wants to see their beautiful lawn covered in decaying leaves. One might be thinking of ways on solving this dilemma. The rake is a very powerful tool during this time for in just one sweep, the leaves will be placed in one pile in no time. The natural look of the garden or the lawn will be revived after doing some sweeping and cleaning.

If one looks closely, the rake is similar to what is called as the disk defragmenter. It basically rearranges files in a neat fashion. The disk defragmenter helps in freeing up some same and of course improving the speed of the computer. It is best to run this program every month or so. Just like in any other operating systems, Windows 7 is equipped with an already functional disk defragmenter.

The disk defragmenter could be activated in no time using these easy steps:

1. Close all programs

2. The task bar, locate the Start menu and click it

3. Click on "All Programs"

4. Find the folder named "Accessories" and click on it

5. There should be a sub-folder labeled "System Tools", click on that

6. Then click on "Disk Defragmenter"

7. Once the program opens, one should see a list of disk drives available for defragmenting

8. When done choosing the disk drive, click on Defragment Disk

9. Let the program execute the action

It's also recommended to leave the computer alone during this time. Once it's done, the user will notice that their computer will run faster. It wouldn't hurt to try defragmenting once in a while if it means a more efficient computer afterwards. It might just solve their problem.
