Are you guys sure fsutil will work? If you create 100 MB with 60 MB contains zero or null, it is still 100MB file not 40 MB file i believe.

The only way can do what the thread starter wants is intercepting system calls. However, i only knew how to do it in DOS though. Never tried system programming yet in WIN32.
