Hello,

(ANS) In Win2K file compression is a drive feature (I.e. a feature enabled on the hard disk drive) and is found via windows explorer. Goto the top of your drive tree in explorer such as C:\ (highlight the drive letter), next right click with your mouse, from the menu that appears select "properties", next select the "general tab". On this page you should see a tick box that allows you to enable drive compression. This box should be ticked if you want to use file compression on this drive.

**You probably have just lost a setting for compression in the registry, file compression is a windows shell extension and thats possibly why you've lost it for some reason?

Hope that helps?

Regards Ivan
