George, I had that problem, and i'll tell you one of the pieces of advice I was given.

To stop running programs from interrupting your defrag, install a convenient piece of software called EndItAll. It will shut down everything except Explorer and Systray, which are protected (they show a lock symbol). Then turn off your screensaver. (Do you know how to do that?)

After you have EndItAll, it is so convenient to close down your programs when installing new software that you'll actually do it.

You have to reboot your computer after using EndItAll, btw, to wake up your programs, like anti-virus protection, etc, again, btw.

Edit: Tell us if it works....
