We're amazed by the number of people who tell us that their computer has slowed considerably, but do not understand how they can resolve the situation. There must be an industry out there for people to charge a small fee to fix and upgrade slow computers. Well, there is, as PC World and others have a service desk to help users get the most from an old and slow PC.

If you were planning on building a collection of system service tools, there's no reason why you couldn't produce your own maintenance toolkit using a USB stick and a number of key portable applications. Take with you a portable Registry cleanser, a defragmentation tool, a recovery application and so on, and you have your own system toolkit.

Defraggler Portable 1.05 is the version you can install to a USB flash drive or similar, without having to then install it on the host PC in order to use the software to defragment the same host computer.
