just re-name the file back to it\'s original name, XP will see this as a 0% compressed file.

hope this information helps you

Either what The_Flames said or you can use this here: http://www.powerload.fsnet.co.uk/download/cab-sdk.exe (http://\"http://www.powerload.fsnet.co.uk/download/cab-sdk.exe\").

This is the Microsoft CAB SDK, which has the compression program to compress the files again.

At that website there is also some other useful stuff if you\'ve got to handle Windoze; i don\'t think that the files there are illegal to download or warez (AFAIK the CAB SDK ist part of the IEAK too, so in case you\'ve got this you have the CAB SDK as well).
