Computer Help?

Can anyone tell me where I can find the Defrag option in Windows Vista Home Premium? I can't even find if it's set to run automatically.
Thanks,

Joe,
Go to control panel click on system and maintance, then scroll down to admin tools and click on defrag.
Hope this helps.

Start menu, all programs, accessories, system tools, defrag. then either run it or set it up to run on a schedule

Thanks you guys. I found out that my computer is set to defrag and 1:00 AM every Wednesday.

Be sure to leave it turned on when you go to bed on Tuesday evening.....

Joe,
Did you read the next two lines in that defrag advice window? Make sure the NEXT scheduled date IS correct. My schedule started in 2005. Last scheduled defrag was 3.10.10 and next scheduled run was NEVER. Nedless to say, I defraged RIGHT NOW and scheduled same for every Wed at 1:00 AM.
AND, thanks for reminding me with your post. If you snooze, you lose.

Joe,

I could use the lotech handle myself. I was 40 years old when I started using a computer and have never really had any formal training. I have learned a few thing the hard way. On my older computer I manually check for Cookies, temp files and one has Zone Alarm installed that creates a log of activity. The log gets huge and slows down the computer ever couple of days. I manually hunt down the files and eliminate them.

That isn't necessary. It will automatically defrag the first time the computer is turned on after the scheduled time.

With Vista or even Win 7, you can change it to look like the old Classic Windows screens. Just go to Windows Help and Support and search classic windows view, it will help you change things around adn make it easier for you to find things
