Maintaining Your Disk and Files
Increasing Disk Space
If there is a need for some extra space on the disk, this can be met by compressing the files on the disk. Disk drives can
also be compressed. For most programs, a compressed drive appears as a real disk drive.
The Windows 95 utility DriveSpace can compress and manage drives compressed with DriveSpace or DoubleSpace.
To run the Windows 95 DriveSpace utility:
1
Click the Start button.
2
Select Programs, then Accessories, then System Tools.
3
Select DriveSpace, then click the drive you want to compress.
It should also be noted that whenever a file or directory is deleted, it is moved to the Windows 95 Recycle Bin. You should
check this regularly and delete any unwanted files. The Recycle Bin can be configured to delete files either immediately
it receives them or, alternatively, only when you request it to do so.
To configure the Recycle Bin:
1
Place the pointer over the Recycle Bin.
2
Click the right mouse button.
3
In the pop-up menu which is then displayed, select Properties, choose the desired configuration, and click OK to save
and exit.
For further details on disk compression and how to reconfigure the Recycle Bin, refer to the Windows 95 documentation.
