while I was in the progress of running the disk defragment
a box appeared and told me it can not do this because of a
utility disk lock and also at the same time during the
optimizing and sorting of the folders the box pops ups and
tells me that this operation has performed an illigal
operation. please help me by telling me how to unlock the
disk utility, and how to once and for all get rid of the
illegal operations.


                     Thanking you in advance,
