Question about 'Stop Windows from Wildly Accessing your Hard Disk'

I have a question about Stop Windows from Wildly Accessing your Hard Disk:

When my computer is on and I'm not using it, the hard drive activity light repeatedly shows drive access every two seconds or so, continually. The fragmentation % of my hard drive seems to go up fast, even with minimal usage. Last night I used Speed Disk from NU and though it usually winds up with a 1-2% fragmemtation residual, nowadays it's more like 5-6% after sitting overnight without my use. Is there some way to stop this continual undirected disk access? Thanks!
