How 2 defrag the *.PST file ?

Hi, how can I defrag the *.PST file ?

The normal XP defrag doesn't even look it up.

The O&O defrag tool doesn't defrag it too.

if you have more than one drive, move it to another drive, defrag the first
drive and move it back... the windows defragger will defrag it provided
outlook is closed, unless it's really large.

I don't have another drive. Windows defrager says the PST
file is locked (even if Outlook is not running).

Your suggestion doesn't answer my question. I want to
defrag the PST file. I don't have any problems defraging
the rest of the drive.

if the defrag tools won't do it and they say its locked then you can't do it
unless you can move it off the drive.

How big is the pst?

My PST file is 500 Meg and on my office PC.
