CompactGUI - Visual Interface for the Windows Compact.exe cmdlet


This tool is an open-source standalone visual interface to make using the Windows 10 compact.exe function more available to more people.


The compression used by compact.exe is similar to the built-in NTFS compression in that it is transparent. Compressed files and programs can still be accessed as if nothing has changed and show up in Explorer as they normally would — they'll just be decompressed on the fly at runtime. However, the newer algorithms used by Compact are much more efficient.
