Stupid XP

You know there are just somethings that I wish XP didn't do. Take compressing files for instance. How do I turn this off. I do not like the idea of files that I have not used in awhile to be compressed. Personal preferance i guess. If some one can give me a ligitamate excuess to keep this enabled then ill bite, but if not please tell me how to disable this.

I belive that it ask if you want to first, you can always say no
also you would never know that it was stored that way, as soon as you open it its there like right now, you don't even know it.

Isn't disk compression auto-enabled when you run disk cleanup? Just uncheck it.

In disk cleanup hilight compressed files select options and set it from there
