From Winmag:
--- Save Space with Compressed Folders (Win Me) ---
Are you running out of hard drive space thanks to bloated files
like MP3s? Windows Me has a new feature to make Compressed
Folders. When you create a compressed folder, any file you place
in it shrinks in size. The Compressed Folders tool isn't part of the
default installation of WinMe, however. To enable it, launch Control
Panel and open the Add/Remove Program applet. Click the Windows
Setup tab, scroll down to System Tools, click it, and click the Details
button. Click the checkbox next to Compressed Folders. You'll be
prompted to reboot. When your PC is back up again, right-clicking
the Desktop and selecting New shows the new item. To use it,
create a new compressed folder, name it with the .zip extension,
and drag in your rarely used files. Once they're compressed, delete
their larger, full-sized incarnation. |
