Saving Disk Space
I'm a very new computer user & I kinda experiment around, clicking
buttons & stuff. A lot of times I run into the option of "compress drives to save disk space". Should I always check this option? What are the pros & cons of doing so? Thanks! BMW |

Saving Disk Space
Do not use "Compress Drives to Save Disk Space". If you do,
you'll find that your computer will take a performance hit. --=20 Nicholas -------------------------------------------------------------------------= --------- "bmw" wrote in message: =20 om... | I'm a very new computer user & I kinda experiment around, clicking | buttons & stuff.

Saving Disk Space
It's really debatable. If you have a bunch of plain data files you keep
around but hardly ever use, then the overhead in access time isn't much of a hindrance. "Nicholas" wrote in message ... Do not use "Compress Drives to Save Disk Space".

Have a look at this disk usage analysis tool. It is for analyzing occupied disk space.
