"Enhanced" the hard disk in the Win XP system.

In the Windows 9X operating system, the hard disk can be compressed by the system tool "Disk Space Management" to increase the available space of the disk. And we can't find "Disk Space Management" in Windows XP, don't be frustrated, its practical Windows XP can also compress disks and folders to increase disk space, provided that Windows XP is used under NTFS. Let's take the F disk as an example to see the compression of the disk in Windows XP. 1. Compress the disk to open “My Computer", view the "F"" Properties” window, under the "General" tab, select "compress the disk to save disk space”, then Click “Apply” pops up "Property modification confirmation" "session window, select “Apply changes to this folder, subfolders and files" Note that you cannot select “only apply changes to F:\\&rdquo ; Click “OK” to automatically pop up the “Application Properties” window and display the remaining time. The system starts to compress the disk. After the compression, we can view its properties and the available space is obviously increased. 2, folder compression Open "My Computer", find the folder you need to compress, right-click to open the folder properties edit window, select the "Advanced" label. Under the “Compress or Encrypt Attributes” task, select “Compress content to save disk space” and then click “Apply” to display the application attribute confirmation window that pops up and select “Apply to this folder, sub- Folders and files & rdquo; checkbox, then click & ldquo; OK & rdquo; Compare the space before and after the Windows folder is compressed. The space occupied before compression is 1.19GB, and after compression, it is 865MB, which means that after compression, the disk can have 325MB more available space. Note: 1. Compression compresses disk folders, subfolders, and files, reducing disk space usage, while the total disk capacity is not increased. 2. Disk compression can only compress local disks and their folders and files, and cannot compress mobile disks and folders. 3. Disk compression is at the expense of speed. Generally, compression is not recommended. It is really necessary to compress and compress individual unused folders or files to increase the available disk space.
