If you\u2019re not familiar with defragmentation in Windows, you really need to learn about it as soon as possible. Soon enough, you\u2019ll be wondering where it\u2019s been all your life, especially with the new features that Windows 7 introduces, which allow the drive to consolidate its free space and run multiple times in one session to make sure that the drive remains free of fragmented files.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s This All About?<\/h3>\n

Normally, you start the defragmenter utility by going to your \u201cStart\u201d menu and navigating from there. Obviously, this might be inconvenient for you if you need to defragment frequently. You could have multiple hard drives or a RAID configuration. There are a number of different reasons why you would want a context menu for defragmenting hard drive when you right-click on one.<\/p>\n

I conducted a small survey of computer users who neglect drive defragmentation. Why?<\/p>\n

More than half of those people said that they\u2019d prefer the utility to be more reachable. So, I came up with an answer for that. The following is a tutorial that teaches you how to put a context menu when right-clicking your drive that lets you defragment it:<\/p>\n

1.<\/strong> Access the \u201cRun\u201d dialog on your computer by pressing \u201cStart + R\u201d on your keyboard.<\/p>\n

2.<\/strong> Type \u201cregedit\u201d and press \u201cEnter.\u201d<\/p>\n

3.<\/strong> Navigate to \u201cHKEY_CLASSES_ROOTDriveShell\u201c. It\u2019s going to be tough to sift through all that if you have as much junk on your computer as I do. Here\u2019s where we are so far:<\/p>\n
