Display and Alter the Compression of Files or Directories 
 
 
The COMPACT tool compresses files on an NTFS drive. 
 
Usage:  
 
COMPACT [/C | /U] [/S[:dir]] [/A] [/I] [/Q] [filename [...]] 
 
/C       Compresses the specified directory or file. 
/U       Uncompress the specified directory or file. 
/S       Performs the specified operation on matching files in the 
         given directory and all subdirectories. Default "dir" is  
         the current directory. 
/A       Do not ignore hidden or system files. 
/I       Ignore errors. 
/F       Force the operation to compress or uncompress the  
         specified directory or file. 
/Q       Be less verbose. 
filename Specifies a pattern, file, or directory. 
 
When used without parameters, COMPACT displays the compression state of the  
current directory. You may use multiple filenames and wildcards.
