PMS I'm not sure if this is what you are talking about but programs/accessories/system tools/system information/software environment shows running tasks, startup programs and system hooks which should show most everything.

<<<If you can find such a utility, you can take a peek at whatever file is being locked. Trace this backwards to the program has the grip on it, and you've narrowed the scope of possible solutions.>>> I am being brave in saying this, though you probably think the opposite: "take a peek at whatever file is being locked" I guess means take a peek at the file that defrags. I will need to ascertain what file defrags. "Trace this back to the program that has a grip on it" suggests that that is a transparent process. Is it? PMSW, you've made suggestions to me, trying to be helpful, that involve my "configuring" things appropriately to my desired outcome, as though that were a transparent process, but... it isn't. Sorry about that, but it just isn't. Really.
