How do I defrag on my lap top ?
I have to type in the address bar every time I want to go on a website for instance I type in Genes then go look at something else I then have to type the address in again to look at Genes, I used to just click on the little arrow and it would show you all the websites that I had??
Many thanks

Hi Sue, to defragment click on control panel, then click -performance and maintenance, on the next window click on - rearrange items on your hard disk to make things run faster. Can't help with your second question sorry.

Hello Sue. Programs-Accessories-Systems-Disk Defragmeter.

Left Top Corner- a Double Star-Add to Favourites. Then use the single star for the adress.
(I have had a stroke and my grammar and spelling could be atrocious.
I find that it is annoying that I can’t express myself.)
