Zip Your Folders in XP

As I mentioned above, you can create a zipped folder in Windows XP. You can also unzip folders with a simple click (see archived newsletter from 3/21/03). Here's how to do it...

First, you need to create a compressed folder. Right click an empty area of your desktop and choose "New" then "Compressed (zipped) folder".

You just created a new zip folder! See the cute little zipper?

To add files to the folder, just drag and drop—they will be compressed automatically.

If you plan to share this file with others, you should keep the name under 8 characters with .zip as the file extension. The recipient can use any unzip program (such as WinZip or Stuffit) to extract files.
