I remember reading there was a parameter when opening files on NTFS that
will prevent the file from being defragged when open. For the life of me, I
am unable to locate information on this feature. Help!

Never mind.
From MSDN:
To mark an open file so that it is not defragmented, call the
*DeviceIoControl*
https:
function
with the FSCTL_MARK_HANDLE
https:control
code with MARK_HANDLE_PROTECT_CLUSTERS in the HandleInfo member of the
MARK_HANDLE_INFO
https:structure
passed in the lpInBuffer parameter.
