It soud like the shortcut you are using from your desktop is for a third party software for defragmenting You will need to insert the CD that came with that software in order to use it.

Incidentally, Windows has it own Disk Defragment program.

Click on Start, Programs, Accessories, System Tools, Disk Defragment The Disk Defragment window will appear and you click on the Defragment button, which will more than likely be located at the bottom of the window display.

Defragmentation will then begin.
