When I want to run disk defragmenter I get a window that says "Disk Defragmenter is currently using

I own a HP Pavilion P6000, Model #p7610t. I am using Windows 7 OS. When i want to run disk defragmenter, I get a window with the following message: Disk Defragmenter is currently using customized settings created by another program. There is a button with a blue and gold shield that says "Remove settings". How do I identify that other program? Should I just forget about it and remove the settings?

Please use plain text.

Bob, I, personally, would remove the settings to see if that helps.  When doing this it may give you a clue to the other program involved.  The worst that can happen is that you have to reinstall the other program.

I clicked and it simply displayed the settings. It seems like it's the MSWindows disk defragmenter. It is scheduled to defragment every week automatically, which is perfect. thank you.
