Does any one no why my files are being compresed Monday, January 16, 2006 at 6:58 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Cam (4178 messages posted) WINDOWS INFO You may still have the registry entry - Compress Old Files - in place or you lmay have turned on compression on a particular drive or drive partition. If you don't need compression it is better to turn it off and remove the registry entry to prevent 'old' (i.e. not been opened for some time) files from being compressed as compressing and decopressing files takes up CPU cycles and slows down the overall performance.
