Can't run Defrag

[Larry]

System response has slowed down horribly lately and when
trying to run system cleanup and disk defrag, I got an
error message that said that the scan could not continue
because of an error in "C:\System Volume
Information\_restore{B6CEOD36-26EC-4684-9219-545B7B40A7DB}-
\RP293\A0045287.TXR"

What's up? I can't find this file. How do I find this
file and either correct it or delete it? I need to run
defrag. This thing's running like my old 486 piece of
crap....

Go to Control Panel, System, System Restore. Turn off System Restore,
reboot and then turn it back on. This will flush your old System Restore
points and create a new restore point. The problem file will be gone.

It's a hidden file in a hidden system folder. Turn off system
restore, reboot, and then turn it back on. The error should go away.
