Question How to undo compression done by XP Disk Cleanup

As you know, the "Compress Old Files" feature in "Disk Cleanup" (XP SP2 home) is used to save space on your HD. Now I'm trying to undo (un-compress) these changes since there are some programs that don't play well with these compressed files (also slowdowns). I've been searching online but couldn't find a working solution. Any help/suggestion would be much appreciated. :)

Go
mycomputer>right click on XXXXX>properties> uncheck c"compress files to save space"

XXXXX represents your drive that is compressed and you that you want to uncompress.

Thats already unchecked (and was never checked). The files got compressed when I ran Disk Cleanup. And right click>properties>advanced>uncheck compress doesn't work on all the files.
