Yeah, moving stuff and shrinking partitions is somewhat risky. The MS tools can do it under certain circumstances. You can also boot Linux and use gparted to shrink NTFS partitions, but it's definitely "at your own risk" (although it's worked perfectly for me the last few times I've tried it).

This. It's free and it works.
