You may want to prevent users from putting compressed files on a file
server. You might want to do this to reduce the CPU usage that is used to
compress and uncompress files, or to have predictable backup space
requirements. One method to do this is to disable compression on the file
server itself. However, this may cause problems with programs that expect
compression to be available on a volume that uses the NTFS file system. As
a result, this functionality has not been implemented.

STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products
that are listed at the beginning of this article. This problem was first
corrected in Microsoft Windows 2000 Service Pack 4.
MORE INFORMATION
Note You must configure this hotfix on a per-program basis. Explorer.exe is
only an example.
Programs such as Explorer.exe call the GetVolumeInformation function to
retrieve information about a volume's capabilities. The Application
Compatibility layer now permits some of these options (FS_FILE_COMPRESSION
or FILE_SUPPORTS_ENCRYPTION) to be hidden.
After you install this hotfix, you can apply Security Database (SDB) files
that contain instructions to use the layer. You must use the Qfixapp.exe
and Sdbinst.exe tools that are included with the Application Compatibility
Later Toolkit. To download the toolkit, visit the following Microsoft Web
site:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/release.asp?ReleaseID=42071&area=search&o
rdinal=2
To create an SDB file to disable compression in Explorer.exe:
Run Qfixapp from the Applications folder in the toolkit installation folder.
Click Browse, and then click Explorer.exe in the Windows folder.
Switch to the Fixes pane, and then click Clear.
In the list of fixes, select and enable GetVolumeInformationLie.
Double-click the line, type * as the module name, and then click Add.
For the command line, type 16 to disable compression. If you want to
disable encryption, type 131072. If you want to disable both, type 131088
(add both flags).
Click OK.
Click Advanced, and then click Create fix support.
After you receive notification that the SDB file is saved, click Yes if you
want to test the layer.
Log off and then log back on to apply the setting.
Repeat these steps for all programs that use compression, or for programs
that you use that use common file dialog boxes (such as the Open and Save
As dialog boxes) because users can access file properties from these
locations.
To deploy the SDB files:
On the computer on which the toolkit is installed, locate Sdbinst.exe in
the Windows\System32 folder.
Distribute the Sdbinst.exe file and any SDB files that you created in the
Windows\Apppatch folder to all computers that require the setting. Copy the
SDB files to the Windows\Apppatch folder on the client computers. Copy the
Sdbinst.exe file to the Windows\System32 folder.
Run the sdbinst windows\apppatch\explorer.sdb command to install the
setting. Repeat the command for each SDB file.
NOTE: If Windows 2000 Service Pack 3 (SP3) is not installed on a client
computer, you must install Actpkg.exe on the client computer. This file is
located in the Redist folder in the folder in which the toolkit is
installed.
