Create Zip Folder....Advise Please

[Guest]

The 3 questions below may all be the same question.
I don't know any other way to explain my problem.
Please clarify for my understanding. Thanks

I am Running XP Pro on a stand alone computer.
The computer is configured in "Classic Mode"
I have created 4 User Accounts.
I don't know if the above information is relevant to my problem.

I used to be able to create a zip folder by
Right clicking on the desktop | New | Create Zip folder....which would
create a folder with a zip on it.

Question1
How do I get the zip folder back again on my computer.

I have Win Zip 8.0 Installed.

Question 2
Is the Windows Zip Folder replaced by the Win Zip Folder Icon?

Question 3
Do the Win Zip... Zip Folder and Windows Zip folder do the same thing?

Hi

If you have WinZip installed then use that. Otherwise you will have to
uninstall WinZip and then run the following command from Start>Run to use
the XP Zip option:

regsvr32 zipfldr.dll

Thanks for the reply Denny
Can you answer two further questions please.

Question 1
Can you tell me briefly the advantages / disadvantages between using the
Windows or Win Zip Folder options?

Question 2
Can you explain briefly why the two type of zip folder can't co-exist?

Thanks

Hi

WinZip has far more options than the XP Zip utility. You can find a lot of
info. in WinZip's help file

WinZip disables the XP Zip utility.
