If that doesn't work, then run:
%systemroot%\system32\DFRG.MSC

Yes ! mmc.exe %systemroot%\system32\dfrg.msc works!
Now is there a way to fix this error and use the defragmenter in its usual
way ?

I'm also experiencing the same issue with my laptop. I've tried
everything (whatever is mentioned in this post), but nothing works.
Additionally, when I try accessing the dile dfrg.msc, from Run prompt,
by typing, '%systemroot%\system32\dfrg.msc %c', I get an Error Message,
"Access Denied"
When I explore, C:\Windows\Windows32\, I don't see dfrg.msc file
there.
Please help..

Another web forum synchronization which makes it difficult for those using
the actual newsgroups see (without clicking on other things/searching) what
the responder is posting about.
In general - it would be better for them topost their own unique issues
instead of 'me too' posts.
The post being referred to is archived in its entirety here:
http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support/browse_frm/thread/b4d5ecbe1390c1b4
It started in December 2008.
Whether or not the TechArena version of the post contains the same 22
messages found in the actual conversation is unknown.
This will take a bit of time and effort - but you will be better off for it
even if it does not completel fix your issue immediately.
If I had to guess - infestation/infection has run wild on the system in
question.
Clean that up completely first:
Download, install, run, update and perform a full scan (separately) with the
following two applications (freeware versions are the ones to use for this):
SuperAntiSpyware
http://www.superantispyware.com/
MalwareBytes
http://www.malwarebytes.com/
After performing a full scan with one and then the other and removing
whatever they both find completely, you may uninstall these products,
if you wish.
Download and run the MSRT manually:
http://www.microsoft.com/security/malwareremove/default.mspx
Reboot.
Fix your file/registry permissions...
Ignore the title and follow the sub-section under "Advanced Troubleshooting"
titled, "Method 1: Reset the registry and the file permissions"
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/949377
Reboot and ...
Search your registry for %fystem and replace the "f" with an "s". May be
three or four matches, may be none. You may even have to take ownership
(even after doing the above) of the keys in order to make the change.
Download/Install the latest Windows Installer (for your OS):
( Windows XP 32-bit : WindowsXP-KB942288-v3-x86.exe )
http://www.microsoft.com/downloadS/details.aspx?familyid=5A58B56F-60B6-4412-95B9-54D056D6F9F4&displaylang=en
Reboot.
and...
Download the latest version of the Windows Update agent from here (x86):
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=91237
... and save it to the root of your C:\ drive. After saving it to the root
of the C:\ drive, do the following:
Close all Internet Explorer windows and other applications.
Start button --> RUN and type in:
%SystemDrive%\windowsupdateagent30-x86.exe /WUFORCE
--> Click OK.
(If asked, select "Run.) --> Click on NEXT --> Select "I agree" and click on
NEXT --> When it finishes installing, click on "Finish"...
Reboot.
Then follow the instructions here:
How do I reset Windows Update components?
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058
Reboot.
and..
Log on as an user with administrative rights and open Internet Explorer and
visit http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/ and select to do a CUSTOM scan...
(Every time you are about to click on something while at these web pages -
first press and hold down the CTRL key while you click on it. You can
release the CTRL key after clicking each time.)
Once the scan is done, select just _ONE_ of the high priority updates
(deselect any others) and install it.
Reboot again.
If it did work - try the web page again - selecting no more than 3-5 at a
time.
The Optional Software updates are generally safe - although I recommend
against the "Windows Search" one and any of the "Office Live" ones for
now. I would completely avoid the Optional Hardware updates. Also - I do
not see any urgent need to install Internet Explorer 8 at this time.
Come back - let us know if that worked.
... Really - come back and let everyone know if that worked.
You may want to run a second scan with SuperAntiSpyware and MalwareBytes
after everything is updated.

It worked only after the removal of the spyware.
Cheers :)

I would suggest finishing the steps. Much like just taking antibiotics just
until you feel better - not wise.
