So the windows defrag will not move any files marked as system and read-only? Again I ask, just for confirmation, does windows defrag (either w98 or me version) assume any file marked system and read-only is an unmoveable?

So the windows defrag will not move any files marked as system and read-only?

I see a lot of posts here recommending downloading the ME version of defrag to run on an Win98 machine. I currently use Norton Speed Disk, because it allows me to specify files I need to stay in a specific spot on the disk. I don't believe the Win98 defrag allows this (although it may leave certain system files that it knows about alone). Does the ME version allow specifying files to leave alone?

So you are saying that even if I have kept up with MS updates I still may not have all the patches?
