Re: New Partition Wizard



Hi,

The option automatically compresses everything placed on that drive. This feature was useful when drive space was limited and new drives were expensive. It is not so much a concern now, but the option still exists.

In the wizard there is an option - 'enable file and folder compression on
NTFS' - what is the purpose of the option when checked?

I've created a partition (NTFS) with the option unchecked and it appears
that I can still manually compress files and folders. Is the purpose of that
option to cause automatic file and folder compression based on some
undocumented conditions?

At the very least, it would be nice if that feature was documented and
defined somewhere - I can't find any.
