With time, anything computer it works harder and harder compared to how it worked when it was new, wear and tear hard-diskului and the modification of data (adding/deleting/moving) on it, being two of the most common causes responsible for the moments of "laziness" of PCs. To make sure that they do not us honors with presence too often (we all know how stressful it is to work on a computer that think at least three times before responding to a simple command), is recommended (to mandatory) defragmentation of the hdd and its optimization as often as possible.
If you are among those users who remember to defragment the hdd only when the system go into a coma, it would be best to automate the defragmentation process, both to avoid such situations and to increase as much as possible the lifespan of the hard disk. It is also recommended to schedule a periodic cleaning of the system (Disk Cleanup) for its optimization.
How to set the automatic start of the defragmentation process when the system enters idle?
- first open Disk Defragmenter tastand defrag.exe in Search-ul FROM Start Menu (or in Run) and giving Enter
- Then click on Configure Schedule to determine how often the automatic defragmentation of the hard disk will take place (frequency, day, time) and to select the partitions you want to defragment automatically (Select Disks). For example, you can choose for the defragmentation to take place weekly, every Wednesday, at 1 AM. Click on OK to save the setting.
How to automate the periodic running of Disk Cleanup for system optimization?
- open Windows Task Scheduler tastand taskschd.msc in Search-ul FROM Start Menu or in Run
- Click on Action and select Create Basic Task from the displayed menu, then give a name to the task (for example Disk Cleanup) and click on Next
- establish/configure the frequency with which you want the cleaning process to be launched, on which day (unless you opt for a daily optimization) and at what time, or depending on what events (Windows startup, user login etc), click on Next, select Start a Program and give again click on Next.
- Click on Browse you navigate catre C:WindowsSystem32cleanmgr.exe (or write the path directly in the field below Program/Script) then click on Next and on Finish.
Note: Valid for Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7.
