[pchelpers] Re: defrag "locked"

Hi Folks I had trouble with this at one time-- just thought Rena and  any
others could make some use of the material. and just has been suggested the
need to close  some programs running in the background would help too.
Quoting
"This behavior can occur if you have the Speed Disk utility from Norton
System Works 2000 installed on your system. This utility, if running in the
background, blocks the use of the Disk Defragmenter tool"
