Then it might be wise to ask your question in an XP group, rather than
in a Vista group... whaddaya think?

I have already done that. No solution.
I don't see anything wrong to add a note that this issue happens on XP
also.

I'm also interested in the solution for Vista.

You could rename it, but you need to take ownership of the file first.

If you don't want to do that, you'll have to dig around the system for it
under task scheluding on XP.


For Vista:
Click on Windows Orb (Start) and type DEFRAG and start Disk Defragmenter
Uncheck "Run on a schedule (recommended)"

and then

Right-click My Computer
Select Manage
Under Computer Management (Local) // System Tools // Task Scheduler // Task
Scheduler Library // Microsoft // Windows // Defrag

Disable ScheduledDefrag


I did this for two reasons on my Vista system. It would start using up 25%
CPU on one of the cores on Q9550 Core 2 Quad while doing absolutely nothing
to the hard drive. And it also fixed a problem with the system not
responding when I was away from the keyboard for a period of time. It
stopped reading and writing to the disk, so I couldn't close or open any
applications. All I could do was move the mouse around and the system would
stop responding.
