I noticed that the "Compress Old Files" feature in Disk Cleanup was causing my disk cleanup to take forever to load and clean. So, I deleted the registry key. Since then, random files have become compressed, and I don't really want them to be. So, two things...1)Why did these files randomly become compressed? 2)Is there a way to get the registry back?
 
1. could be that when you exited the program it was set to keep running in the background or it could be a virus try running some AV programs warez posted a topic on new viruses that will encrypt stuff that makes them unrecoverable so back up your stuff just to be safe.

2. you can run a system restore and that will fix the registry.
