Description:
Microsoft management console tries to simplify system management tasks of daily routine. It has applications, which have been built with modules. These applications, called snap-ins, can be added to a program that works independently or as a part of the bigger application. Say, if you run dfrg.msc from start > run menu, you are loading the snap-in from the basic framework (mmc). Mmc provides system administrators an adaptable interface to view the system and set it up. The disk defragmenter defragments your drives so that your computer runs faster and more efficiently. This setting can restrict loading of this snap-in into the mmc. For this, go to start > run menu, enter regedit and navigate to the registry path listed below. If any of the subkeys \mmc\{43668e21-2636-11d1-a1ce-0080c88593a5} does not exist, create them as explained below. Then, create a string value restrict_run in the right panel. Now, right-click and modify its value to 1 which can disable snap-in. However, if you want to enable back the snap-in, delete the subkey {43668e21-2636-11d1-a1ce-0080c88593a5}. The changes take effect after a restart or logoff. Note: access to disk defragmenter from start > programs > accessories > system tools is also blocked.
