Hi Mario,
Fix the "DefragPath" value in this registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MyComputer\DefragPath
Click Start, Run and type REGEDIT.
Navigate to the above location:
In the right-pane, double-click (default) and set its data as:
%systemroot%\system32\dfrg.msc %c:
(if REG_EXPAND_SZ)
C:\Windows\system32\dfrg.msc %c:
(if REG_SZ)
Alternately, reinstalling Defrag using the INF file should fix the above
value automatically. The following was recently posted by Bert Kinney,

Open Control Panel - Folder Options - View tab, select "Show hidden files
and folders" and uncheck "Hide extensions for known file types", click OK.
Open Windows Explorer and navigate to the windows\inf folder. Find the
dfrg.inf file, right click on it and select Install. You may be asked for
the XP CD.
