How to Create a Compressed Folder
Windows XP has basic built-in zip capability so that you can compress files by using the Compressed (zipped) Folder feature. Folders compressed by using this feature are identified by a zippered folder icon.
You can either create a compressed folder, and then move or copy the files to that folder to compress them.
Or you can use ctrl-click to select the files and then right-click, point to Send on the shortcut menu, and then click Compressed (zipped) Folder.
