    I follow almost all the tips mentioned above (except for the daily restart- lazy!) However I completely agree that the above steps help keep the pc smooth and fast. I think besides running only the absolutely necessary programs, the HDD can function faster if kept free from fragmentation and junk. My routine involves running CCleaner every week and defragmentation is fully automatic (with one of the excellent auto defrag tools that run in real time in the background) and does not need me to analyze frag levels or schedule the task.

      true, junk files has to be cleared from the PC and it needs a restart everyday. CCleaner is by far the best program for cleaning junk and fixing this up in PC.

    Good article, I also find cleaning my computer of all dust makes a big difference. I also don’t like the in-built defragger as it is way too basic and slow. The best and really only solution to fragmentation is to use diskeeper as it prevents most fragmentation from happening in the first place. I’m pretty sure they offer free trials at their website.
