Default Attribute of "compress content to save disk space"

Question: In each file properties, there is an advanced menu that has option "compress content to save disk space"
I'm asking what would make files go compressed automatically in WinXP pro?
because from time to time I find some files being compressed where I'm sure they weren't before, and I didn't change the attribute myself. I just need an explanation of that. Does windows do that automatically for archiving or something like that!...

a feature available in XP on NTFS-formatted drives only.

In XP, select Start, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, Disk Cleanup

It compresses files older than 50 days.

Whenever you want to return a compressed file to its uncompressed state, right-click it and select Properties. Click the Advanced button, uncheck Compress contents to save disk space, and click OK.
