Compress Data and Save Disk Space without any software

Hy Guys! Here is a cool tip to have your data take less space then usual!Windows comes with data compression technique, which very few people are aware of! i wasn't aware too! I found it out when i was fiddling with my data folder's properties. Then i saw the same thing in the disk drive's properties. i made the changes and it compressed the data so that i can use more space of the hard disk. While the best thing about the windows in-built compression technique is that no uncompression has to be done to use the compressed data! It runs like a normal data would! Great! Now here's how to compress your Disk Drive :
.
Right-Click on the disk drive and click on properties.
.
Then Check "Compress drive to save disk space" and click Apply and wait till the setting attributes complete. [See Screen Shot Below]
.
Then Click Ok.
.
Your Done.
