Disk Defragmenter

All Windows XP computers have at least one hard disk. The hard disk acts as your computer's storage area. Almost everything installed on your computer - applications, files, folders, and operating system - is stored here.
With general use, (creating new files, deleting files, installing new software, etc) your hard disk can become fragmented. This means that parts of the same disk file become scattered over different areas of the disk. A fragmented hard disk slows down your computer and hinders its performance.
To keep your hard disk running smoothly, you must routinely defragment or "defrag" the hard disk. The Disk Defragmenter tool can help you do this.

Disk Cleanup

Disk Cleanup is another tool that helps keep Windows XP operating as it should. It inspects your hard disk and looks for files that can be safely deleted. Deleting unnecessary files frees up valuable disk space.
To run Disk Cleanup:

• Choose Start
  
  All Programs
  
  Accessories
  
  System Tools
  
  Disk Cleanup.
• The Disk Cleanup window opens. Click the Disk Cleanup tab if it's not showing.
• Disk Cleanup lists several potential files that can be deleted and the amount of disk space you'll gain by emptying each one.
• To learn more about a file category, click it and click the View Files button. A description appears.
• Click the checkboxes next to the categories you want to delete and click OK.
• A dialog box appears, stating, "Are you are sure you want to perform these actions?" Click Yes or No as appropriate.

Dealing with an Unresponsive Computer

OR

• Press the ESC on your keyboard.

OR

• Press Ctrl + Alt + Delete on your keyboard. The Windows Task Manager opens. Here, monitor applications, processes, performance, networking, and users. If you need to restart your computer, choose Shut Down
