So, because they do not mention it, therefore...... what?
.
it is a presumption, unless you tried program and found that in fact
locked files/directories where moved.
In fact none of the partition resizing programs I recall
having used, said anything about locked files or dirs.
.
that would/may be due to prog devs letting prog users presume that locked
files/directories where in fact moved.
years ago, i tried a shrink program that in fact shrunk partition and did
not move locked files. when i rebooted win, it errored out with a notice
that it was unable to find 2 files. which i presume was because shrink
prog did not move files, it just did away with them.
Some other OP stated that windows 7 itself can shrink
the partition.
I cannot vouch for that, because I have never tried it.
win7 does have a shrink program, but as i have already posted, it ended
with notice that no further shrinking could be done because of the locked
files/directories.

I mean the util did not have or report such issues.
It just shrunk sda1 and I had plenty of room to add p2 and p3.
Win7 was perfectly bootable afterwards.
so you are making a valid presumption.
