NTFS Compression Program?

Gzim · 25-August-06, 10:22 PM

I use NTFS compression on my drives because of drive limitations but sometimes for games I have to manually decompress the files, but windows so slow and often freezes when decompressing large files, does anyone know of any programs specifically that can possibly do a better job decompressing files that compressed with NTFS

(NTFS compression is NOT like Zips, so please do not respond saying Winzip!!)

Thanks, but I only want to decompress certain files, not all of them, which this looks like it specializes in.

"Details on the implementation's internals are closed, so third-party vendors have a difficult time providing tools to handle NTFS."

This might be why there are few programs available.

Alright thanks any way...(then how'd they do LinuxNTFS?)

Supports reading and rewriting of files. They are working on creation of basic files but it doesn't always work.
