WimBootCompress.ini
or
WimBootReCompress.ini
found in the Windows\System32 folder
are exclusion lists created during WinNTSetup installs on Wimboot mode and WinNTSetup installs on Compress mode, respectivly.

So as I understand things, using it/them as the default exclusion list should make it safe to use Compactor in the whole system disk; C:
??

More info is available in the below link of an app that enables Windows Compact all the way down to Win 7:

ALSO:
I noticed that the wimlib algorithms are said to be more performant than the Win 10 algorithms.
Faster and smaller files:

I'm no programmer but thought I'd mention this in the hopes that they might be used to improve this excellent app?
