Move Immovable Files?

Anyone know of an app that can move immovable files?

I've got a wee bit of empty space in my C:/ drive... I'd like to shrink it, but there's a single file stopping me.

Hey SR
Yeah but they may be immovable for a reason. does the defragger tell you what they are?

If you move them and they are something like a system file, or page file, you would be hosed. Find out what they are before you move them

I haven't yet figured out what's in that lone file.

I want to shrink my C:/ drive down to about 100 gigs, but that one file is stopping me. Why on earth would the system park a file way the heck out there? Just to mess with my head? Grrr....

I guess I'll have to live with it this way until I clean install the official Win 7 release in a few months. Then I'll make sure the C: partition is shrunk before the install.

There is another way. when you do a backup and then a restore most commercial utilities automatically defrag during the restore. Norton ghost does and I think acronis does as well

Hope this helps and let me know how it turns out
