Any help would be appreciated. If Win95 uses the equivalent of DOS 6.xx's DEFRAG, it doesn't like to move a lot of files... I tried it and it left "locked" files all over my drive. I guess anything marked as "hidden" counts as a system file. If Win95's defragger left X's all over your drive map, this might be your problem. Try the shareware ORG... it locks the true system files and gives you control over which other files you might want to lock. I used ORG, my defrag went fine, and FIPS ran like a charm.
