A co-worker asked:

"For some reason, I don't have the built-in
compression/decompression option for folders in Windows XP
installed (the built-in .zip feature). I've looked to see
how I can add it, but must be missing it.
Do you guys know where to add that feature in?"

Any suggestions?
 
You can only use NTFS compression for files and folders on
drives formatted as NTFS. If the Advanced button does not appear,
the file or folder you selected is not on an NTFS drive.

NTFS is the preferred file system when running Windows XP, either
Professional or Home Edition. To convert your FAT32 drive to NTFS,
follow the instructions at this website:
