The usual culprit is the virtual memory file used by Win 95. As the fips
documentation states, you should disable virtual memory before defragging.
Other than that, the old DOS PC-Tools was pretty good at displaying hidden
files, along with their attributes. I know Windows Explorer displays the
file names, but I don't recall if it can also display attributes.
