i am thinking of not installing norton system works and do away with its routine pc checks and repairs. How do i defrag and what is its purpose?
 
Start Button -> Programs -> Accesories -> Systen tools -> Disk Defrgamenter

It organizes files on your disk so your computer can access them faster.
 
As files get added and deleted, they start to leave gaps in HD storage and other files get written into those gaps. Steadily, files become more and more broken up.

By defragging, you can make your files continuous again, increasing read speeds. I've seen benchmarks which call the effectiveness of defragging into question, but its generally seen as a good habit for system maintenance.

So nice to see a non-HL2 thread here once in a while.
