Can't Shrink System Volume?

I have a notebook with a 93GB Vista partition. Only about 15GB is in use. I
want to shrink the partition to make a 20GB second partition; but Disk
Management|Shrink will ONLY let me shrink the partition by 2GB - which is
useless.

What is going on?

It because there are unmovable files that Windows place at the end of
the volume. For details of ways to shrink your partition, please refer
