Compress Old Files utility is gone

Hello-
I have a laptop with Windows 2000 Pro loaded on it-I've noticed that when I
use the disk cleanup utility that it doesn't have 'compress old files' or
'old chkdsk files' listed on the submenu. Since I bought this laptop used,
I'm assuming that a previous owner had this option removed via the registry.
Is there a way to get these options back using the Windows 2000 CD or does
this involve tooling around in the registry? Thanks for any response.

AFAIR, Windows 2000 never had a native compress tool.
