# Change scratch disks

Photoshop Elements needs contiguous hard drive space to create a scratch disk. For this reason you should frequently defragment your hard drive. Adobe recommends that you use a disk tool utility to defragment your hard drive on a regular basis.

1. Choose Photoshop Elements > Preferences > Performance.
2. Select the desired disks from the Scratch Disks menu (you can assign up to four scratch disks), and click OK.
3. Restart Photoshop Elements for the change to take effect.
