Defragging Your Computer

Sunday, November 1st, 2009

When you save files to your hard disk, they are broken into small manageable blocks and then saved on to the hard disk.

Ninite – Multiple app installer

Stumbled on this at http://lifehacker.com

To try this command for yourself you need to open a DOS window. To do this in Windows NT, 2000 and XP do the following.

Click Start.
Then Click run.
Then type cmd and press enter.
