I agree. Now how do you expand/decompress multiple files and folders w/o having to go through windows and set the attributes for each and every one?!? I've yet to figure out how to do this! [hr=noshade] [/hr] Ok, I figured out a solution to my own question...there may be a better one out there but here goes. Say you have a directory with ten folders in it, all having multiple compressed files within each. Create a dummy text file in this folder and give this new file the 'compressed' attribute. Then select this file and the other folders, right-click properties, and clear the box for compression. Windows will ask if you would like to decompress all files and subfolders of the selected folders. Just click yes and you are done.
