    In Windows 2000, compressed files can be read by and written to any Windows-based or MS-DOS-based application without first being uncompressed by another program.

    A) Always true

    B) Always false

    C) Depends on the application type

    D) Depends on the application version

    E) Depends on the SP version

    I'll go with B. My understanding is that compressed files must always be uncompressed before being read or written to.

    Ill go with A
    I believe that the whole point of windows 2000 compression was to make the procedure invisible to the end user, and the OS should handle all compression/decompression, so no external programs should be required

    B for me.

    One of the features of the NTFS file system. I think. Now I'm starting to doubt myself. Walk AWAY from the question, Gav ...... :eek:

    Answer time folks

    Sorry Gav you should have listened to your own advice :cry:

    Correct answer is: A

    Explanation: According to the official MS 215 Training Kit: Compressed files can be read by and written to any Windows-based or MS-DOS-based application without first being uncompressed by another program. When an application, such as Microsoft Word for Windows, or an operating system command, such as copy, requests access to a compressed file, NTFS automatically uncompresses the file before making it available. When you close or explicitly save a file, NTFS compresses it again.

    I knew the minute Ryan posted his answer that I had hosed myself. Gav and I must have been thinking the same thing about NTFS compression but I took a closer look at the question and it says "without first being uncompressed by another program" and the answer became clear. Good one.
