INTRODUCTION
By default, a computer that is running Winternals Defrag Manager cannot connect to a computer that is running Microsoft Windows XP with Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) installed. Therefore, Defrag Manager cannot defragment the volumes on the Windows XP-based computer.

This article describes how to configure Windows Firewall to enable Defrag Manager to defragment the volumes.



MORE INFORMATION
Defrag Manager depends on the &quot;File and Print Sharing&quot; service to copy the Defrag Manager files to the client system when schedules run. When you install Windows XP SP2, Windows Firewall is enabled. Windows Firewall disables the &quot;File and Print Sharing&quot; service.

To configure Windows Firewall to enable Defrag Manager to defragment the volumes, enable the &quot;File and Print Sharing&quot; service. To do this, follow these steps:
 * 1) Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
 * 2) In Control Panel, click Security Center, and then click Windows Firewall.
 * 3) On the Exceptions tab, click to select the File and Print Sharing check box.
 * 4) Click OK.
