[THIN] Re: script to uncompress windows compressed files?

Steve,

I have a batch file that I've used to compress files of a certain age.

The important part of the batch is...
FORFILES -p%strDir% -s -d-%numAge% -c"CMD /C IF @ISDIR==FALSE COMPACT /C 
""@PATH\@FILE"""

This uses the forfiles command (this was part of the resource kit or 
support tools, I think) to find files older than a certain age and 
compress them using the compact command.

You may be able to doctor up the forfiles parameters and change the /c to 
a /u to get what you want or maybe you could just run a 'compact /u /s' 
from the root.

Tony

[THIN] script to uncompress windows compressed files?






wondering if anyone has a nice seek-&-destory script for uncompressing 
files/folders compressed by windows. Yes, you *should* be able to clear 
the compress flag at the roof of the folder, select all files and folders 
when prompted and let windows do it all. Too bad it didn't work.
 
thanks.
 
btw, I'm not a vmware expert but setting up virtuals with 9GB C: drives 
that are entirely compressed seems to have some minor performance 
impacts...
