Copying and Moving NTFS Compressed Files and Folders
There are rules that determine whether the compression state of files and folders is
retained when you copy or move them within and between NTFS and FAT volumes.
The following list describes how Windows XP Professional treats the compression state
of a file or folder when you copy or move a compressed file or folder within or
between NTFS volumes or between NTFS and FAT volumes.
Copying a file within an NTFS volume When you copy a file within an NTFS volume
(shown as A in Figure 10-17), the file inherits the compression state of the target
folder. For example, if you copy a compressed file to an uncompressed folder,
the file is automatically uncompressed.
Moving a file or folder within an NTFS volume When you move a file or folder
within an NTFS volume (shown as B in Figure 10-17), the file or folder retains its
original compression state. For example, if you move a compressed file to an
uncompressed folder, the file remains compressed.
Copying a file or folder between NTFS volumes When you copy a file or folder
between NTFS volumes (shown as C in Figure 10-17), the file or folder inherits the
compression state of the target folder.
Moving a file or folder between NTFS volumes When you move a file or folder
between NTFS volumes (shown as C in Figure 10-17), the file or folder inherits the
compression state of the target folder. Because Windows XP Professional treats a
move as a copy and a delete, the files inherit the compression state of the target
folder.
Moving or copying a file or folder to a FAT volume Windows XP Professional
supports compression only for NTFS files, so when you move or copy a compressed
NTFS file or folder to a FAT volume, Windows XP Professional automatically
uncompresses the file or folder.
Moving or copying a compressed file or folder to a floppy disk When you
move or copy a compressed NTFS file or folder to a floppy disk, Windows XP Professional
automatically uncompresses the file or folder.
