Windows XP compressed (zipped) folder by MattyMooMoo on 06-02-2004 at 07:06 PM
First off sorry if this is in the wrong place, but would appreciate help on it anyway!!!
The Windows XP "compressed (zipped) folder" function has dissappeared on my PC 
This is the feature where you right click in a folder and select new and it says new "compressed folder" or something. I used this feature alot, and would like it back if anyone knows how it would be great.
anyway thanks in advance for any help!! 
and sorry once again if this is in the wrong place!!

Hmmm
You mean:
Right Click on a file->Send to->Compressed Ziped Folder ?
Hmmm.,..
Can you go to Start->Run and type sendto and see if "Compressed (zipped) Folder" is there?

To "repair" the feature, go to Start > Run and type "regsvr32 zipfldr.dll" then restart the PC.

Thank you!! will try that now!!

If you're using winrar it doesn't show because all compressed files will be opened with winrar. If you choose "WinRAR Archive" it's the same.

I thought it was a well-known tip... 
I saw it on some site once and remembered it, because I thought it might be useful someday.
