dfrgntfs.exe

[news.vnet.net]

I recently upgraded from windows 2000 prof. to XP prof.
This past thursday I noticed the system was running very
slowly. I checked the task manager and found a process
called dfrgntfs.exe was utilizing 85+ percent of the CPU.
I tried to kill the task and it would not go away. This
task is starting automatically without my specifying it
to. I check the scheduled task and there are none listed
then I checked the schedule is defrag for computer
management and there is no specification of an automatic
process to start. Can anyone explain why this is
happening and how to stop it.

Thanks

Please email me (e-mail address removed) if you know the answer to this problem.
I too am having this problem. The only difference is that I did not upgrade from 2K. I purchased a notebook with MCE 2K2 w/ SP1 (original that allows domain joining) It never did this before but now out of nowhere it's doing it. I have automatic updates OFF and it hasn't been updated since purchase of unit. (2003)
SP2 sucks majorly and the new MCE Baseline servicepack removes the ability to join a domain so obviously unless I have chemical abuse issues I would never consiously volunteer to remove features from my laptop's OS.
