Norton Speed Disk (part of Norton Utilities and SystemWorks) will fix it
nicely in Win9x. You can tell the directories and the swap file to go
wherever you want them to be. They don't seem to have anything out for
Win2K yet. There are only one or two utilities packages out there for 2K so
far, I haven't tried them cos I don't want to shell out $60 (I've been
spoilt by open source, hate paying for software!)
You could try backing up, reinstalling to a shrunken partition, and
restoring - but remove all your passwords first. Don't take my word for it
though. My real advice is get a nice big hard drive :-)

One instance where I've heard of files refusing to be moved is from
the swap
files. As far as I know the way around this is to turn off the swap
in
Windows, and then try the defrag again.
