        Why not simply turn that folder into a "compressed folder"?
This is a feature of NT4 where you can specify that all contents of a
given folder should be kept compressed - not unlike StuffIt
SpaceSaver used to do on the Mac.

        I personally like ZipMagic by Mijenix
(<http://www.mijenix.com/> - it's what StuffIt will be like when it
grows up. (and I'm one of the few people that can say that and get
away with it ;).
