drive.<br />
3. Depending on the size of your drive, the defragmentation can take up to a few hours.<br />
You can follow the defragmentation process via the drive symbol <strong>and</strong> the status display.<br />

PC while the defragmentation is being run.<br />

as an HTML document in your web browser.<br />

Defragment an Entire Computer<br />
To defragment your whole computer, under Defragmentation in the Ribbon Bar click Defragment<br />

O&O Defrag will display the estimated time remaining in the drive list. You can follow the<br />

Defragmenting individual files <strong>and</strong> folders<br />
You can also defragment individual folders or files. Just right-click any file or folder on your<br />
computer <strong>and</strong> click Defragment. O&O Defrag will be opened <strong>and</strong> the defragmentation<br />
begins. Defragmentation of smaller amounts of data is often completed within just a few<br />
seconds.<br />
Background Monitoring<br />
Thanks to the new Background Monitoring feature, O&O Defrag 11 is able to offer you the<br />
option of preventing fragmentation at its point of origin. Newly added <strong>and</strong> modified files<br />
will be inspected <strong>and</strong> defragmented, if they are not being accessed at the time. In this way,<br />
O&O Defrag remains working behind the scenes to make sure your hard disk is always performing<br />
at its best.<br />
To keep it that way, make sure the setting Enable Monitor is always enabled under Defragmentation<br />
in the ribbon bar.<br />
