Compressed Files

We are running Windows 2003 Server with SP1 on our File server. I have noticed that several files are displayed in blue font, while others are not.

After examining these blue files, I have discovered that they are compressed (Properties | Advanced | Compress contents to save disk space).

Is there anyway to disable file compression on all files that are compressed. Obviously, it would take an eternity to examine every file and untick this option.

Please help! :)
 
You could run navigate to the specific directories holding the compressed files via the command prompt and run compact /u /s *.*
