Use to speed up your hard disk by defragmenting the files on your hard drive. Fragmentation occurs as a result of your computer splitting files up into bits and pieces as it stores them onto the magnetic surface of your hard drive. You can use Disk Defragmenter to "rearrange" all of your built-up file fragments into complete file blocks, which will not only speed up file access but it will also slow down the wear and tear on your hard drive heads since they won't have to jump around all over the disk surface reassembling a fragmented file each time you access it. This is one of the most useful (and necessary) Disk Utilities included with Windows 95. We strongly recommend running Disk Defragmenter at least once a week.
