I never use the 'Compression' option, anyways.
Win2000 and WinXP.

Answer 1

unclick the compress old files box when you run it.

Answer 2

This "tweak" requires edited the registry, make sure you have a backup prior to doing this

Click Start, and then click Run.
Type regedit in the Open box, and then press ENTER.

Locate, and then click the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\
Microsoft\
Windows\CurrentVersion\
Explorer\VolumeCaches

On the File menu, click Export, and then click Desktop, type VolumeCaches in the File name box, and then click Save.

Note This step creates a backup of the VolumeCaches registry key. If you experience any problems after you complete the steps that are listed in this procedure, you can use this backup to restore the VolumeCaches key to its original state. To restore the key, double-click the VolumeCaches.reg file on your desktop, and then click Yes.

Expand the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE
\Microsoft\
Windows\CurrentVersion\
Explorer\VolumeCaches

Delete the Compress old files registry key.
Quit Registry Editor.
