Guest Bwise_IT Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 I compressed some SQL log files on my C:\ partition on a Windows 2003 server, and now, i think by coincidence, we are getting some peculiar error messages in the Even Viewer. Will removing the Check mark from the "Compress contents to save disk space" on a single file Decompress the file? Can i select a group of files and do this step for all of them? Does this actually Decompress the file? Thanks Bob
Guest Meinolf Weber Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 Re: Decompressing Windows 2003 NTFS files Hello Bwise_IT, If they are compressed with compress.exe from the Ressource kit you have to expand them with expand.exe, otherwise it should work the other way around with unchecking the option.
