Display and Alter the Compression of Files or Directories
The COMPACT tool compresses files on an NTFS drive.
Usage:
COMPACT [/C | /U] [/S[:dir]] [/A] [/I] [/Q] [filename [...]]
/C Compresses the specified directory or file.
/U Uncompress the specified directory or file.
/S Performs the specified operation on matching files in the
given directory and all subdirectories. Default "dir" is
the current directory.
/A Do not ignore hidden or system files.
/I Ignore errors.
/F Force the operation to compress or uncompress the
specified directory or file.
/Q Be less verbose.
filename Specifies a pattern, file, or directory.
When used without parameters, COMPACT displays the compression state of the
current directory. You may use multiple filenames and wildcards.
