Compress Files and Folders in Windows XP

Running out of room on your hard disk? Need some extra space to install a new
program? Don't worry, Windows XP comes to the rescue. Both Windows XP Professional and
Home Edition now include a zip compression utility that you can use to compress files and
folders on your hard disk.
· Right-click the file or folder.
· Point to Send To.
· Then click Compressed (zipped) Folder.
This will make a compressed folder, identified by a zipper icon, which displays the
same name as the file you compressed. You can also make a compressed folder from
scratch, by following these steps:
· Right-click the Desktop.
· Point to New.
· Click Compressed (zipped) Folder.
