Service Pack 2 compresses files without user consent

J

Jonathan Evans

Ive noticed that service pack 2 compresses files without
asking, well on my pc anyways. i have compression disabled
on all my partitions and its still doing it on old files
and even archives them. is there anyway to prevent either
of these from happening, i dont really need them and it
decreases performance a little.

Go to disk clean-up.
Is "Compress old files" checked?
Uncheck it.

Open My Computer | Right click Hard Drive(s) | Properties |
General tab | UNCheck: Compress drive to save disk space |
Apply | OK

[[Specifies that this NTFS drive be compressed. By default, only files in
the root directory are compressed automatically. To have Windows compress
all folders on this drive, select the Also compress subfolders check box in
the message that appears.]]
