	====Disk Fragmentation====

	One of the reasons for a computer slowing down is that the Windows File System becomes fragmented. Poor performance arises when the files that are held on the Hard Drive are broken up and written to different parts of the disk, resulting in the Hard Drive doing a lot more work than should be needed to open the files.
