Configure, manage, and troubleshoot file
compression.
Windows 2000 uses compression similar to
DriveSpace in windows 98, but unlike
DriveSpace which compress entire volumes, it
can compress individual files and folders.
You can compress files and folders only on
drives formatted with NTFS, also compressed
files and folders cannot be encrypted
If you add or copy a file into a compressed
folder, it is compressed automatically. If
you move a file from a different NTFS drive
into a compressed folder, it is also
compressed. However, if you move a file from
the same NTFS drive into a compressed
folder, the file retains its original state,
either compressed or uncompressed.
To compress a file or folder
-
In explorer select the file or folder
you want to compress, choose properties
-
Check the Compress contents to save disk
space box
To remove compression from a file or folder,
follow directions above and uncheck the
