SUMMARY
When you view compressed files on a Microsoft Windows NT version 3.51 server volume from either File Manager or the Command Prompt, the file size displayed is the uncompressed size of the file. This is the size that should be used to check the file for possible corruption.



MORE INFORMATION
File Manager displays compressed files and directories with blue text.

COMPACT.EXE is a file compression utility shipped with Microsoft Windows NT version 3.51. It compresses files only on a NTFS partition.

To view the compressed size of the file, you must select the file in File Manager. Then from the File menu, choose Properties.

Any user that has at least Read and Write permission can use File Manager or COMPACT.EXE to compress and uncompress files and directories on a NTFS partition.
