My XP home edition leaves LARGE chunks of fragmented files behind called "Files that cannot be defragmented",when finished with a defrag.

What can I do to render these files fragmentable?

Close Seamonkey before you run defrag.

Should close everything. I wonder if there are any good offline defrag that doesn't require user to run Windows.

PerfectDisc will do that. If, after you do a regular defrag with it, there are many system and meta files fragmented, it will suggest doing a bootup defrag. If you click to do this, the next time you start the computer it will load perfectdisc and do a defrag before windows starts up.


Will that bootupdefrag also defrag the open slots? That would be great!

I would advise the OP to purge all caches (SM, IE, and >iopconfig/flushdns) and delete *.tmp /s and do a "disk cleanup" (right mouse on C drive, properties, tools, and the button for "disk cleanup", advanced, and remove all old system-restores but the last one. This can save several GB of space and perhaps leave enough room to defrag more files.
