What does not compress files to save disk space?

Original title: compress the disc

Hi, I'm not very good with computers. in any case, I see in 'Properties' to the local c drive, there is an option to "compress files to save disk space", or something like that. I want to create more space on my disk, so io should do? It will have harmful effects on what it is? can it be undone? anything else I should know about it?

Thank you very much

He was never a good idea to compress a drive.

Some system files and folders don't like it, and if there is a problem with the drive, it will be more difficult to work on the problem. If you have a problem with a compressed drive, after he went on half capacity, it becomes incredibly difficult as the first, must unpack the drive, and if there is not enough space on the disk, decompression does not.

In my opinion? Do not...

  • Eraser 6 does not work on my unused disk space. It is said that it doesn't have the necessary permissions

    Gum does not work on my unused disk space. It is said that it doesn't have the required permissions. I tried running as admin as troubleshooting told me, but it still does not work? What I am doing wrong.

    The reason why it is not working is that even if you close the gum and reopen it as a Director he is still a running process (which was not stop when you closed the gum) in the background without administrator rights.

    The solution is to ctrl-alt - del-> windows-> processes Task Manager.

    Kill the process called 'eraser.exe', and then you restart gum as an administrator.

    Thus, the background process will win also rights administrator.

    It worked for me :)

    Defragmenting a disk or file and compressing a disk or a file, are different processes. If you choose to compress a drive, it is from a service that is then configured to run whenever Windows is running. This service will compress the data 'on the fly' so that it will take less disk space (IE it has drive lower cost). And decompress it 'on the fly' when the read data is the queries executed.

    Therefore, the disk compression on or active, it's on. It cannot be activated twice.

    Disk defragmentation is something different. The details can become complex, but the idea is simple. When operating, it reorganizes the data on the drive so that it is each file with all togrether and in order (as much as possible). Also, frequently used files can be placed on the disk where they can access quickly. Thus, System defrag schedules to make time - to-time, when the system is not otherwise busy.

    I hope this helps.

  • How can I stop OE 'compress files to free disk space,'

    How can I prevent the notice OE ("compression of files to free up disk space"), constantly arise. I moved the cd, deleted files, shortcuts to files, etc., and I still get this pop up to compress files.  very annoying.   Help

    Have let you compact? Disk space is not recovered until you do. Let compact, you should not see the prompt again for 100 closures of OE. If you see more often, after the return. If not, read this.

    *******************

    Why OE insists on compacting folders when I close it? :

    About file Corruption:
    http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/IE/community/columns/filecorruption.mspx

    Compacting your folders periodically is a must to keep OE works fine and at some point, you may lose all your saved messages if you do not. When you delete or move messages, the space they used remains until you compact.

    Never touch anything until the compression is finished.* *.

    See:
    www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#2

    With SP2, Automatic compaction in the background has been removed because of problems he has caused. Now, you will get a prompt to compact after 100 closures of OE, you need to do, and do not touch anything until it's finished. If you compact manually, at your convenience, this will also set the counter to zero. See this for more information:
    http://www.insideoe.com/files/maintain.htm#compact

    If you are fully patched, you will now see a copy of your dbx files copied to the Recycle Bin as BAK files. If something goes wrong when compacting, the messages can be easily restored from this backup. A compact manual resets also the counter in the back of the registry to zero now.

    For more information, see the information framed in red here:
    www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#2

    To keep things running smooth and harden faster:

    Do not archive mail in default OE folders. It will eventually become corrupt and you may lose mail. Create your own folders defined by the user for mail storage and move your mail to them. Empty the deleted items folder regularly. Keep user created folders under 300 MB, and also empty as is possible to default folders.

    And backup often.

  • 10g - what makes OBIEE does not cache files in the cache folder?

    Hi, experts,

    I would like to know
    What makes OBIEE does not cache files in the folder cache VIEW OF REQUEST (reports on dashboard)?

    of course, I activated the cache in nqsconfig.ini

    a few reasons why a query is not cached in obiee are:

    1. None of the tables involved in should be deleted from the query caching. Check the options for this option of caching of the physical layer.
    2. cached queries must follow all the presets in nqsconfig.ini. For example, size of cache entry, etc...
    3. the request must not contain functions such as current_timestamp, current_date, random functions, etc...

    I hope this helps.

  • After Vista update cannot find the external hard drive, AutoPlay does not work, and new unusable disk appears under my computer

    After Vista update cannot find the external hard drive, AutoPlay does not work, and new unusable disk appears under my computer. Also I can't 'manage' my computer because I do not have "permissions". I tried a fix he 45071 and it did nothing.

    Applications, (Norton and McAfee) (including free evaluation versions are notorious for not not upgrade (or uninstalling) itself.) If NIS has been installed for 3 years, you have NIS update at least once and maybe twice (e.g., NIS 2009 > NIS 2010 > NIS 2011).

    [You may want to print these instructions for reference offline. If a step said to reboot, reboot.]

    1. download the Norton Removal Tool, save it to your desktop: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe

    2. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).

    3. After completing some you have a copy of your handy product key, uninstall all Norton software (including LiveUpdate and everything Norton Add ons) viaControl Panel | Programs | Uninstall a program (or Control Panel |) Programs and features, if you are using the classic view).

    4 IMPORTANT! -Online activate Windows Firewall immediately after the restart.

    NB: Now you're "working without a net": no to ANYTHING else online (e.g., navigation, reading e-mail, chat) until you have completed step #7 below!

    5. right click on the file that you saved in step #1 above, and then select run as administrator.  DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.

    6. do a clean install of NIS 2011 (using your product ID, if need be) & reboot. CF. http://www.symantec.com/norton/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20080514162318EN

    NOTE: Do NOT activate or install additional modules of Norton (for example, Norton Anti-Phishing) immediately.

    7. manually and repeatedly run LiveUpdate (Norton) until you get a prompt "no update more".

    8. open Internet Explorer (only) to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923737 & run the difficulty.

  • "Save as" box pop up does not allow me to save the document.

    Hello

    "Save as" box pop up does not allow me to save the document. Displays a white screen. No idea what would cause this? I bought acrobat pro dc.

    Thank you!

    Found this solution:

    The default "Save as" dialog Acrobat DC is different from the dialogue box you had in earlier versions of Acrobat, it also allows you to record in the clouds and previous locations that you saved the files. It is possible that when Acrobat tries to connect to the 'cloud', it runs into problems. You can try to disable this feature to see if this brings your backup in the back of the box: open Acrobat Preferences, then go to the "General" category and uncheck "show the online storage when you save files:

  • InDesign does not allow me to save my work. Why is this? Time sensitive project.

    I downloaded the trial version for InDesign and have been using it for working on an important project. I got the free trial for a little while, but I don't know exactly how long. I opened it an hour ago, and she still offered the option "continue trial", so I clicked it, but now it does not allow me to save or export my file in PDF format. I'm almost finished on the project. He holds today, but if I'm not able to save the file, I will not be able to submit the assignment. Is my inability to save the file, the result of the trial running out mid-session? If so, what can I do to recover the work I've done?

    In my view, there is a known problem where it happens to a few Mac users. The solution is to export to .idml. open and save to a new file.

  • Thunderbird does not all files except "inbox." and against the info 'aid', there is NO 'account settings' under 'Tools' & I have the latest version of T.

    Thunderbird does not all files except "inbox." and against the info 'aid', there is NO 'account settings' under 'Tools' & I have the latest version of T. I just need to download the SENT MESSAGES, Inbox not only.

    Re: Where is 'account settings '.
    If you do not see 'Tools', then you do not have your active 'Menu Bar'.
    See picture below on the activation of all the toolbars make life easier.

    Different methods of location of the 'account settings ':
    Via the toolbar "Menu Bar":

    • Tools > accounts settings

    Through the pane of folders:

    • Right-click on the name of the e-mail account in the folders pane, and then select "settings".

    Via "Menu Icon.

    • Menu icon > Options > account settings

    Re: I need to download sent Messages Inbox not only.
    E-mail accounts IMAP see a remote view of the files on the server.
    You subscribe to view these folders in Thunderbird.
    You synchronize directories subscribed for a copy in Thunderbird.
    What you do in a folder for example imap: delete, will occur on the server, so viewing via webmail or Thunderbird folders appear identical.

    However, in your case, it seems that you have created a POP e-mail account.
    E-mail POP accounts can only connect to Inbox server and download server Inbox for the Thunderbird Inbox pop e-mail account.
    It's not a quirk of Thunderbird; This is how all Pop mail represents the work.

    There is a work around to get "sent" in the folder mail sent from server in Thunderbird. You just do it once, because when you send it through Thunderbird, it will put the e-mails in the folder sent TB pop mail account and not on the server.

    Thunderbird creates a "Sent" folder when first send you an email.
    So, if you have not yet sent an email, please send one, even if only to yourself.

    Then, move all inbox emails in the appropriate folders.
    You can create new folders to organize them.

    How to create a new folder:

    • Right-click on the name of the e-mail account, and then select "new folder."
    • Give an appropriate file name and click "create a folder".

    When the Inbox is empty:

    • Logon to the Web e-mail account by using a browser.
    • Move all emails "Sent" in the "Inbox".

    In thunderbird:

    • Click on 'Get the message'

    all the "Sent" emails must get downloaded from the server Inbox anto your Inbox in Thunderbird.

    • Then move all your emails in the 'Sent' Thunderbird folder.

    You should now have all these emails downloaded from the server and display in Thunderbird.
