Defrag problem

I run Defrag each week.

There's one file - huge - that won't defrag.
The file name is \Documents and settings\Doug\local settings.........

That would be my file as the current user.
It says it won't defrag because it's currently in use.

I went to SAFE and logged on as Administrator but that didn't help.
The drive has about 50% free space so there should be plenty of room to
work.

Any ideas?
Thanks,
Doug
