Do I need to close all running programs if I want to defrag the disk?

It would be smart to close all programs and go do something else in Real
Life(tm), yes. If you still have difficulties in defragging, do the
defrag in Safe Mode. This is not normally required in XP, but all
computers are different.

The question is too vague. At this point the answer is no. The best you
can do at this point is run defrag, observe, and learn.

Your question is vague, but as a general rule it's a good idea to close
all programs and let defrag run by itself.
