I believe Norton SystemWorks does more than that. Something like SpeedDisk has the same idea of Windows Defragment .

Windows Disk Defragger should work on anything except your swap file/some system-critical files. NSD can't move those ones either.

well the win2k defragmenter doesnt do my movie files, [they are downloaded in parts and "Pieced" together when the download "Resumes" [IE: Lost connection / reboot's etc]

guess i will have to get em onto CD and off ma H/D asap then eh ;)

nm :D

the defragger isn't perfect...sometimes it leaves files (esp large ones) in a few pieces but overall its pretty good...

were you downloading them while defragging? the downloader program might have locked access to the files....
