Everything I say can be fully substantiated by my own opinion.

There are various programs on your computer that will update frequently. (They often will do this automatically)  However, the updates don't always get filed with the main program - These are fragments.

When you defragment, the computer sorts thru the fragments and puts them where they belong.  This helps the programs run more smoothly.

You can defrag your Windows system by clicking on "START", then "CONTROL PANEL", then "PERFORMANCE & MAINTAINENCE", then "REARRANGE ITEMS ON YOUR HARD DISK..."

defragmentation is a process that reduces the amount of fragmentation in file systems . It does this by physically organizing the contents of the disk to store the pieces of each file close together and  continously .

fragmentation is a phenomenon in which storage space is used inefficiently, reducing storage capacity and in most cases performance. The term is also used to denote the wasted space itself.
