Compressed files and BIT Version.

[Tolinrome]

I cant seem to find out what BIT version of windows Im
using. I looked at the system tools and system properties
and couldnt find any info. I need to know if I can
compress or ZIP files with a built in ZIP version that I
heard XP has. I know 64bit doesnt support the ZIP, but I
dont even know what version I have.

Thanks,
Tolinrome

All consumer versions of Windows XP are 32-bit versions.

Open XP's "Help and Support" and type: COMPRESS , and hit enter.
Then click on "Compressed (zipped) Folders overview.

Open "MY COMPUTER", right-click on your drive and select
"Properties". Then look under the General tab for File System to
determine if your drive is formatted NTFS or FAT32.

Right click on a file > send to > if there is something like
"compressed(zipped)folder", you can select it and it will zip it up for you

Anybody who has to ask this question has 32-bit Windows. The
64-bit version is considerably more expensive and requires
special hardware.
