Setting To Enable Sparse File Attributes within NTFS

Post by *Jaguarist »

Hello all. Been gone a while, but back, and with a puzzling question. I recently reinstalled WindowsXP Pro, using the NTFS5 file system.

I would like to take advantage of the Sparse File attribute that NTFS offers. From the way I understand it, this attribute is set by the program one is using, rather than being able to set it on a file-by-file basis.

Is there a setting within TC, maybe in the .ini or something, that I can enable so that all my files use the Sparse attribute??

Thanks !! :)
