You might try LZEXE as an "execute from compressed" method of saving disk 
space. It works on .exe, .bat (and .com if converted to .exe) to compress 
to about zip level. Also a PCMag utility called (I think) pcmanage will do 
a similar thing for some data, etc files. Neither of these work on ALL 
files, but they are fairly efficient at saving space. On a sample 20Meg 
disk, I went from 15M to about 9Meg without losing any functionality or 
programs. Good luck.
