C drive has an open program writing to disk, therefore, unable to defrag, although D drive will defrag. C dive 120 gb needs cleaning, i have paused task sc. and can find no other programs open. How do I find open program and diable? >From: "Dana" anonymous@discussions.microsoft.com >Date: 10/23/2003 11:05 AM Eastern Daylight Time [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] >gb needs cleaning, i have paused task sc. and can find no >other programs open. How do I find open program and diable? Reboot to safe mode to run defrag and you won't have that problem. Try ctrl-alt-del to bring up the Close Program box to see what you may be able to shutdown. Make sure you are not connected to the Internet (unplug or shut off the modem). Only program required to be running in the Close Program box is Explorer. However, many leave the Systray running also. Above all, no antivirus programs runnings or programs like GoBack. Try a scandisk first. > C drive has an open program writing to disk, therefore, > unable to defrag, although D drive will defrag.

I have found the best solution is to do a Scan Disk and Defrag in Safe Mode, then reboot. >-----Original Message----- >Try ctrl-alt-del to bring up the Close Program box to see what you may be [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > >.
