Decompress Old Files

Comment:

Does anyone know how to 'globally' decompress the files that were compressed with the Compress old files utility in Disk Cleanup? Thanks, Andy

Don't know, but why?? They will be decompressed when you need them.

I think you can go to the drive and click on the compress and then do an uncompress later. There is little advantage to NOT use compressed files. Your computer usually has more cpu's than it does have read transfer time.
