Lesson Summary
■ Windows XP Professional saves files and folders in the first available space on a
hard disk and not necessarily in an area of contiguous space, which can lead to
file and folder fragmentation. Disk Defragmenter, a Windows XP Professional system
tool, locates fragmented files and folders and defragments them, which
enables your system to access and save files and folders more efficiently.
■ Check Disk attempts to repair file system errors, locate bad sectors, and recover
readable information from those bad sectors.
■ Disk Cleanup frees up disk space by locating temporary files, Internet cache files,
and unnecessary programs that you can safely delete; and it also deletes temporary
files and uninstalls programs.
