Disabling automatic defragmentation is used by laptop owners to increase the speed of work (for example, in Windows 7, the defragmentation operation occurs every time the computer is turned on). At the same time, this operation is just part of the set of measures required to achieve the goal.

Instructions
Step 1
Click the "Start" button to bring up the main menu of the system and go to the "All Programs" item for manual defragmentation.

Step 3
Select the "Disk Defragmenter" item in the list of the opened application window.

Step 8
Click the "Select disks" button to disable automatic defragmentation of specific disks and apply the check boxes only to the fields selected for operations with disks.
Step 9
Return to the main Start menu and go to Run to invoke the Registry Editor tool.
Step 10
