Actually, you can try booting in safe mode, and defragging there; it
seems to use less unmoveable clusters then. Or, get Norton Utilities
for Win95; the Speed Disk utility will even optimize your swap file,
so all unmoveable clusters should be moved. If all this fails, you
could always attrib -r -h -s everything on your drive, defrag, and see
if anything breaks (no big deal, it's only Win95... ;))
