it is a presumption, unless you tried program and found that in fact
locked files/directories where moved.

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.

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.

so you are making a valid presumption.
