General Question
Why is Windows telling me two different values for free space?

Right-click on my C: drive, select Properties, and it says I have ~15GB of free space.
Run the defrag.exe utility (in C:\Windows\System32) and it reports that I have ~40GB of free space.
As you can imagine, if defrag.exe was wrong, then it would likely be shuffling files around and overwriting stuff willy-nilly. The system wouldn’t last a week like that (running defrag.exe nightly).
What gives?
Running on Win XP SP2.
