Compressed files/folders

[Wade]

I need to be able to create some zipped files and would
prefer not to spend money on a third-party software.
Reading through XP help, it appears that I should be able
to create zip files by clickinf File|New|Compressed
folder. However, the compressed folder option isn't
there. I'm sure that I'm missing something simple. Can
anyone help? Thanks.

Hi

See if the following helps:

Select the file(s)/folders that you want to compress, then right click =
on the file(s)/folders and select Send To and then 'Compressed (Zipped) =
Folder'.

Thanks for the quick reply. That appears to do the
trick. Any idea why the Compressed folders option is not
there when I create a new folder? I did previously have a
trial version of a zip program loaded, but it has
subsequently been uninstalled.

Hi

The 'Compressed files/folders' option isn't available via File>New. =
'compressed files/folders' - using the right click method - I thought =
'should' have be available when a new folder is created. =20

Hi

I've realised that WinZip shows up here on the File>New menu instead of =
'Compressed files/folders'. Perhaps the zip program you uninstalled has =
something to do with this. Is the uninstalled zip program listed under =
File>New?
