To whom it may concern: <> For many reasons I do not use disk compression. The answer lies in removing this key from your registry. <> "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VolumeCaches" <> Now simply back-up if desired and remove (delete) the "Compress Old Files" key. It worked for me. No more compress old files option in the menu, so it's fast. The following Microsoft Link should apply: <> "http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;812248" <> Why let your OS run without ever getting an answer. Just do it!
