Record marked as obsolete and not updated for a long time.
The ### file extension was related to DriveSpace. Also known as DoubleSpace, it was Microsoft's disk compression software.
It was included as part of Windows 95, 98, and Me, as well as DOS 6.20 and later. The latest version in Windows 98 and Me was version 3 (DriveSpace3).
Disk compression software compresses data on the fly when the data is to be stored on the hard drive or a floppy, and expands the data as it is read from the drive. The process happens in the background, and is transparent to the user.
With DriveSpace, compressed drives are actually one large hidden file on a host drive. For instance, if you compress the C: drive, you will find a Drive H on your computer afterwards. This drive will appear to have no space on it, since the hidden file (which you will not see, of course) is actually taking up all the space.
