| Compressing files I noticed that in "my computer" there is an option for compressing files to save room. Is this a good idea and how complicated would that make looking at - say - My Pictures folder or music or whatever. Have no clue. -- Thanks |

| Re: Compressing files Bob Also not all files compress. One needs to test and observe the results. Compressing current regularly accessed files would also not be a good idea. I imagine you are aware of these points. I have mentioned them for the benefit of the OP. -- Regards.
