Disk defragmentor MMC can not open the file. dfrg.msc is missing

[Barb P]

I would like to use disk defragmentor. It can be found under tools, but when
I try to open it; I get, c:\windows\system 32\dfrg.msc is missing. I cant
find it under run either. Can this file be replaced or fixed with Registry?

I tried all options you offered. I did find the dfrg info file and clicked
install as well, no results. My defrag error window says "MMC cannot open the
file this maybe because the file does not exist, is not an MMC console, or
was created by a later version of MMC". The defragmentor used to work , but
has been a long time since it has. Your second option to go to Kelly site is
unavailable. Thanks for help. Barb P

Interesting, Happened to me after a clean install. I was, however, able to
find it in 'Computer Management."

I believe my dilema was started with the use of 'Advanced System Care's"
defrag program. Not sure but that is about the time it occured.

At any rate, It coaxed me into trying some others out in the Freeware arena.
No harm, no foul.

I can not find the MMC Console to look for disk defrag.

This did get me to the corect place, subject 280. I executed the file for
defrag fix, opened it, and nothing seemed to happen. Tried disk defrag again
and error says same thing, can not open the file c;\windows\system
32\dfrg.msc is missing. I would like to find the file that is missing or
reinstall it. The program is not listed in add or remove programs for disk
defrager as well.

Go to Start/Settings/Control Panel/Administrative Tools/Click on Computer
Management. Do you see Disk Defragmenter on the left side in the tree of
files??

Strange, I posted the link correctly, just tested it
using Outlook Express without problems.
Where did the semicolon come from?

RUN > MMC
or > compmgmt.msc

If somehow the dfrg.msc is non existant on your computer.

you can console it to run.

Run > defrag c:

I fixed my defrag problem by a nother viewers advice. I had upgraded to xp
service pak 3, removed it after it messed up another program. Appearantly it
takes your MCC console & moves it out. After I deleted update 3 my defrag was
gone before i knew it. So go to the Service pack two upgrade & download new
filess & Bingo. I know have defrag back! excellent. Barb

Thank you for your advice. I have fixed defrag by someones post. I installed
service pack3, which made some problems with softplan problem. After softplan
had an issue & said get rid of service pack 3, then I did. That then removed
the mcc console out of my computer or something. So it was suggested to go to
update for windows service pack 2. I downloaded & now defrag is back. Great
advice . Thanks!!

dfrg.msc error fix that works

Here I have found a fix that works...and its free. I tried it and it fixed the problem in a heartbeat.

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/907265 and scroll down a bit over half way and download and run WindowsXP-KB907265-x86-ENU.exe package. Its the latest version of mmc (mmc 3.0)and I'm almost certain it will fix the problem your having. please post back if it does.
