Hi all. I accidentally check the compress old files in windows native Disk
Cleanup software. Now I have a 20% reduction in my system's performance.
Is
there anyway to uncompress my system32 files & gain back my system's
performance without having to format my entire hard drive? Because that is
what the IT guy at my job recommended. Some of the system files in use
will
not accept any uncompression commands from the "Run" window prompt. spent
a
week trying to undo this. GUYS I NEED HELP!!!!!!!
First of all, it's hard to imagine you would suffer a "20% reduction in my
system's performance" because the "Compress old files" feature in Disk
Cleanup has been invoked. Surely there's something more involved here that's
slowing down your system.
It is true, however, that for the vast majority of users it's unnecessary to
use the "Scanning: Compress old files" routine when invoking the Disk
Cleanup process. It really slows down that process.
A user can get around this by simply accessing the registry (Start > Run >
regedit), navigating to...
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VolumeCaches\Compress
old files
and deleting that registry key.
