Hi all,

I'm desperate because I did a clean disk on my gaming partition and forgot to discard the option for "do not compress old files". Now, stupid Windows compressed I don't know how many files on this partition and I am desperate to find a way to uncompress them.

Thanks, and if you also know, I would like to know the entry to disable this option in the registry.

 
Run this from the command prompt to uncompress everything on your C partition. repeat for d:\, e:\, etc as needed.

compact /u /s:c:

run 'compact /?' to see all options.

you can delete the following registry key to stop this from happening in the future

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VolumeCaches\Compress old files
