error when running defrag from W explorer

[Crios]

Hi,

OS: XP SP2 with all admin rights.

I'm trying do defrag a drive from Windows explorer (R
click/Properties/Toos/Defragmentation) but i get the following error
message: "MMC cannot open the file C:\windows\system32\dfrg.msc".

However, I can defrag the disks using ctrl panel/perf&maint/Admin tools/Comp
manag/Disk defrag.

Thanks for suggestions

Go to Start, Control Panel, Folder Options, View, Advanced Settings
and verify that the box before "Show hidden files and folders" is
checked and "Hide protected operating system files " is unchecked. You
may need to scroll down to see the second item. You should also make
certain that the box before "Hide extensions for known file types" is
not checked. Next in Windows Explorer make sure View, Details is
selected and then select View, Choose Details and check before Name,
Type, Total Size, and Free Space.

Is a copy of dfrg.msc to be found in your C:\WINDOWS\system32 folder?

Hope this helps.
