• Synopsis: AutoCompress intelligently compresses/decompresses drive content based on whether the compression will actually save space. For example, JPG and MP3 already have built-in compression, while text and spreadsheets frequently reduce to 50% or less of their original size. The program can also compress based on age or size, scanning all folders recursively under the provided folder (by default c:\).The program can also [i]disable[/i] compression based on the reverse criteria: since files that are already compressed take more processor power to decompress twice, this program can speed up your computer.This program requires an NTFS-formatted drive.[i]NOTE: Homepage is down, linking to Softpedia.[/i]
