Yeah i've been using this trick to save my Dish Space and how Helpful it is...
But i need a alternate way so that i don't have to manually do this.
I just need a way to apply this to certain folder using Command Prompt (cmd.exe).
Thanks
ll.Hello PRince4,
When you compress a folder, everything you save into that folder should get compressed as well by default.

If you're looking for a way to make it easier to compress items, then using the context menu added by the tutorial below should help.

This method is the other thing rather than what i needed i was thinking is there's a way to do it via cmd?
I'm sure your going to continue to compress files no matter what I say. But HDD's are relatively inexpensive these days and getting larger capacity every day. There really is no need to compress files.
Be aware, that if you have an issue with your HDD and you need to use Data Recovery software to recover your files, you will have a very difficult time recovering compressed files, most of the data will probably be corrupt. As opposed to non compressed files which are much easier to recover.
Sure. The first tutorial I posted below has options for compressing files or folders via the command prompt. It's the same commands used by the other context menu tutorial.Thanks for the reply and also sorry for my late reply

Totally agree.I'm sure your going to continue to compress files no matter what I say. But HDD's are relatively inexpensive these days and getting larger capacity every day. There really is no need to compress files.

In reality, compression impact can vary wildly eg photos and videos hardly compress at all and can even be bigger after compress. For many users, this is the bulk of data storage.
The biggest benefit on small devices is to use COMPACTOS

I totally agree with you guys especially i know these can't compress images and videos (Media files)
but in term of gaming i can surely have much space i need after compressing them and thanks for the cmd help..
I really appreciate it...
I'm glad we could help.
