As per the original answer, back when Win95 and Win98 were relatively new, storage was very expensive, so even MS-DOS had its own compression function. Stacker was the best known and most reliable of the aftermarket programs.

WinME was pretty terrible in its day, and was never hugely popular. If it didn't have disk compression (with a "K", since it's not related to optical drives), it was because the cost of storage had already begun dropping. It does seem to me that W2K had such a function, however.
