u can speed ur pc by utilising less amount of ram in housekeeping functions , such as exitting any unneccessary startups, through msconfig command on the command prompt you can reach the startup list and u can uncheck any unneccessary process such as windows messenger etc. from automatically loading , then u can defragment your disk from startup>system tools>disk defragmentor.\nalso increasing ram is good option but it requires investment, then keep your registry cleaned by using any good registry cleaner , but only full versions will benifit you.

you should have a system restore on your system. Just set it to a time before defragmentation, that way its as if nothing ever happened! I love it, its like rewinding.

I think you may just need to clean out your PC.\n\n1. Defrag your PC.  (Start > Programs > Accessories > Systems Tools > Disk Defragmenter)\n2. Give your PC a good spyware cleaning.  Use Windows Defender for this (http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/software/default.mspx)

Periodically, Mac OS improves the startup ability of programs, which, I think, is defragmenting some of it's internal tables.  I think there are some third party defrgmenting tools too.\n\nYou know, defragmenting on a PC isn't like it was 10 years ago.  Now, when you defragment under XP, is doesn't defrag EVERY file - it doesn't even try too.\n\nActually, the BEST way to defrag any machine (PC or Mac) is use a third party partition copy routine, copy the entire contents to a spare drive and then swap drives _ yes it's a lot of work, but you have a perfect image backup to store in the event of a failure...

If you run the Defrag program, it will overewrite "deleted" stuff with the files you want to keep.  If you really want to clean up the space, use a program like Webroot's Window Washer.  You can download a 30-day trial version from the Webroot website.  Set it to "bleach" the deleted area of your hard drive.  That makes it overwrite all the old stuff with 0's and 1's.

Stand on your head and explain what you mean...\n\nOr if you mean defragment, DO IT IN SAFE MODE where your antivirus software will not interfere with the job.

Maybe you don't have to try downloading. You can do some Disk Cleanup, Disk Defragmenter and clearing your recent documents history, emptying recycle bin, clearing Internet search history, cache, etc.\n\nIf you want to do Disk Defragmenter, I suggest you do it during night time because this process could take lots of lots of hours. So just leave it on while you're sleeping. Go to Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Defragmenter. Select the drive and click Defragment.\n\nTo clear recent documents history, right click Start menu > Properties > first Customize button > Advanced tab > Clear list button.\n\nDoing all these tidying may just speed up your computer. Also, uninstall programs that you are not using and delete all the folder files in the Program files that you've just uninstalled.

Go to the Control Panel option on your start menu and choose performance and maintenance.  There should be an option for freeing up space on your hard drive.  It is call defragmenting, and does not remove programs or file.  It only rearranges them to make them more organized and take up less space.
