This involves a bit of code, see this page: http://www.experts-exchange.com/Prog...rTAFilter=true

I think it makes sense to encapsulate that in a plugin :)

I asked same question elsewhere and got the info, that
"attrib +c" is only available in the recoveryconsole.
for normal use it should be "compact" (compact.exe)

your suggestion would be nice as a normal option in "SetFileAttributes"

I'll have a look at it when I get some time :)

Edit: I think it is better to put it into a plugin because it will bloat the installer otherwise. To compact a full folder, you need to iterate through all files and subfolders and set the attribute for each of them...
