Just reading this thread- i have Win xp and use the file compression. NTSB or whatever it is called- i do not need them for anything- just do email, etc here. So, I read it is slower than not compressing them- I read in help , etc they recommend it. I want to keep my Hd uncluttered as I do not need all those old files. Is there a way I can go in and UNDO it so when i do disk clean- it does not compress but deletes them all.I looked and could not seem to find where I had set it up to begin with. Thanks
