A mis-matched compressed object is one that does not match the compression status of it's parent folder.

If a folder is compressed, but some of its' files or sub-folders are not, they are considered mis-matched.
If a folder is not compressed, any compressed files or sub-folders in it are considered to be mis-matched.
If a drive is compressed, any non-compressed object on it is mis-matched.
If a drive is not compressed, any compressed folder on it is mis-matched.

JSIcmpr.bat is a script that will locate mis-matched compressed objects. The syntax is:

JSIcmpr Drive1 [Drive2 Drive3 ..... DriveN] where:

- is the full path to the file that will contain the report.
Drive1 - is a drive letter to check ( C C: C: are all acceptable formats).

Note: I did not make any effort to suppress error messages caused by object names that contain & (or the like).
Note: I did not test this script with a compressed drive. If you have one, and run the script on it, let me know if the report is inaccurate.

JSIcmpr.bat contains:

@echo off
if "%1"
"" goto syntax
if "%2"
"" goto syntax

set report=%1


@echo Begin Compressed Report > %report%

:loop

shift

if "%1"
"" goto srt
