ABSTRACT

These programs will help to keep your disks in good condition, and your data safe. Backup – enables you to keep safe copies of your important

files, and to recover lost data.

Disk Cleanup – finds and removes unused files; Disk Defragmenter – optimises the organisation of storage to

maximize the disk’s speed and efficiency; Error-check – finds and fixes errors in data stored on disks; Scheduled Tasks – lets you perform maintenance at set times; System Information – gives (technical) information about

what’s going on inside your computer; System Restore – backs up essential files, so that the system

can be restored to normal after a crash. Most of the tools can be started from the System Tools part of the Start menu; some are reached through the hard disk’s Properties panel.
