I believe the question is whether the NTFS has compression enabled or not. As far as I know, this is not addressed in the help file. There mgiht be a COM soultion.....

Until someone find a way to do it with COM or DllCall...

Here is a workaround.

#include <Constants.au3>

$folder = 'C:\Compressed\' ;need to have trailing slash for folder
$compress = False

$foo = Run(@ComSpec & " /c compact /Q " & $folder, @SystemDir, @SW_HIDE, $STDERR_CHILD + $STDOUT_CHILD)

While 1
    $line = StdoutRead($foo)
    If @error = -1 Then ExitLoop
    ConsoleWrite("STDOUT read:" & $line & @LF)
    If StringInStr($line,"will be compressed.") Then $compress = True
Wend

While 1
    $line = StderrRead($foo)
    If @error = -1 Then ExitLoop
    MsgBox(0, "STDERR read:", $line)
Wend

If $compress Then 
    MsgBox(0, "", $folder & " is compressed")
Else 
    MsgBox(0, "", $folder & " is NOT compressed")
EndIf

You can also try:

If StringInStr (FileGetAttrib ("C:\"), "C") Then
    MsgBox (0, @scriptname, "Drive C: is compressed")
Endif
