Defrag query

A general query.
I recently started receiving this message following a defrag of my C drive
"Defragmentation is complete for: (C

Some files on this volume could not be defragmented.
Please check the defragmentation report for the list of these files."

The report lists no files, totally blank.
De-fragging my F drive throws up no such message.(both drives NTFS system)
I recently un-installed Windows messenger, (to prevent running process
msmsgs.exe)
which caused issues with Outlook Express loading extremely slowly.
I resolved this by following the instructions below from the OE newsgroup

http://insideoe.tomsterdam.com/probl....htm#slowstart

Is it the recent un-install that's caused this ? Is disk de-frag looking for
some of these files ?
Just for my info really as machine is running ok, and I try to learn
something new every day !

The MFT ( Master File Table ) is invariably is in two or three fragments
and is not listed.

How many folders does it say are fragmented?

Hope this helps.

A strange thing though! no message about being unable to defragment some
files, so it appears to be rectified.
I find these Newsgroups a constant source of comfort when my machine acts up
(as they all inevitably do!)
So thanks again to all who take the time to contribute.
