Windows 2000/XP include a command line utility, Compact, which enables you to perform compression or decompression of files at the command line. To use this utility to compress files, open a Command Prompt window and then enter the following command: compact /c file | folder In this syntax, you use either a file name or a folder name. Alternatively, to decompress files, use this command: compact /u file | folder
