I accidentally did a disc cleanup with compress old files option.
Some how I figured that the would uncompress the next time I accessed them.
Now I'd like to uncompress all files in a folder at once. Is there a trick to this?
TIA,

yes, navigate to the root folder where all the files are compressed, usually you will see it apart from the other folders because it will be in blue instead of black and do the following..
Right Click on the Folder and go to properties > Advanced there uncheck Compress contents to save disk space hit OK and Apply and check Apply changes to this folder, subfolders and files and hit OK
you are all done =)

Thanks, N. I'm sure that I right clicked and looked, but I'll look again.
<by root, I'm guessing that you mean all the way back to D:/>

By root meaning the folder where you compressed the files. Or did you compress the entire hard drive? If you did compress the entire hard drive you can go to My Computer, right click the hard drive that you compressed and go to properties, there simply uncheck "Compress drive to save disk space" (under General)

Ok none of the boxes are marked. Some of my compressed files are giving me problems. I made sure no more will be compressed by clearing the option from the registry. How do you get your files uncompressed from all directories?
I've tried the above information.
I've tried, Goto Start|Run and type "cmd" to open a command prompt
Type "cd \" at the prompt to goto the root directory
Type "compact /u /s /a /q /i *.*" to uncompress all files in all directories
The files are still compressed. I'm still getting problems.

I'm trying to convert my father from using COBOL to Python, :)
One difficult thing we stuck into is how to read, from python, files written

Do you know a module that allows me to do that?
It should avoid us the work to write a COBOL program that open the COBOL

Does it include functions (or something else?) from the header/include

I have a dynamic xml file that needs to be downloaded periodically to the
client from an ASP.Net application. This file can be rather large, but it
zips up very small. Does anyone know of a simple way that I can compress the
file from my ASP.Net server code and then uncompress it from client jscript
to read it? Maybe there is an IIS setting that automatically compresses
data. Any suggestions?

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
