Information
This will add
File Compression Options and
Folder Compression Options to the context menu of files and folders for all users to be able to compress or decompress one or more selected folder(s) and/or file(s) with
NTFS Compression to reduce their size and save space in
Windows 7.
You must be logged in as an
administrator to be able to add or remove this from the context menu. All users will be able to use the context menu though.
Note
When a file or folder has been compressed, the text for it's name will turn blue to indicate it has been compressed.
