Did you recently install Windows Live Messenger or Windows Live Mail?

That's the reason it's happening and even if you uninstall them both, it
will continue to happen. If you look at the results of the analysis of
your drive, you will see it's only one file so don't worry about it.
You'd think that Microsoft could figure out how to make their own
programs play nice with Windows, especially Live Messenger which
everyone and their brother just *has* to have.

Perhaps not normal, but my computer has been doing exactly that since XP
came out.

The only one of mine that does that is one that I stupidly installed
Windows Live Messenger on and that will be removed with a reformat and
reinstall as I need a bigger hard drive with a bigger C partition for
that computer.

I never installed Windows Live Messenger. My hard drive is 120 Gigs with
about 13 used.

Does the report from analyzing the hard disk tell you which file it
can't defrag? You may need to do it in Safe Mode for it to tell you.
Have you installed Windows Live Mail?

Files that are "in use" cannot be defragged ( no matter what type or what
program they are from ),as long as your computer is on their will always be
files in use, just ignore the msg.

If you have installed Windows Live Messenger or Windows Live Mail, it
will do the same trip in safe mode where nothing is running. Those are
the culprits. Period.
