Ok, there are some files on the computer, which windows allows crosslinking in. Most of the time, with normal files, crosslinking means a corruption in the file... but with some files, like an email-folder file (PST), crosslinking is handy for keeping track of emails replied to, forwarded, and it makes compression easier in these files...

Windows will automatically "fix" crosslinked files. So to protect these files, windows marks them as UNMOVABLE... in otherwords, it cant / wont defrag them....

you MAY be able to access the locked folders you were looking at by clicking start, run and typing in LOCK C:

(lock works backwards... lock will unlock a protected drive, and unlock will lock it again... - Only microsoft will know why)

If i were you, i would avoid using programs such as DR watson <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> It was a good program in the Win98 era.. .but its very harmful to winXP
