Compressed folder option unavailable

[Guest]

When I select the NEW option off the file menu or right click on the desktop,
I do not seem to have the Compressed (zipped) Folder option. I had WinZip on
my computer, so I assume that is why. If so, how do I get the New |
Compressed (zipped) Folder option back after removing Win Zip.

Send To Compressed (zipped) Folder

Select Run from the Start Menu:

Type or Paste: regsvr32 cabview.dll at the prompt and click OK.
and
Type or Paste: regsvr32 zipfldr.dll at the prompt and click OK.

The change will take effect immediately, but you may have to restart Windows
for all features of the built-in ZIP support to be available.

If Send To Compressed (zipped) Folder is still missing from the Send To
menu.

Copy: Compressed (zipped) Folder from C:\Documents and
Settings\Administrator\SendTo
or
from C:\Documents and Settings\Default User\SendTo
or
from C:\WINDOWS\system32\config\systemprofile\SendTo
or
from a friend's machine.

Paste it into...

%userprofile%\SendTo
or
C:\Documents and Settings\Your Name Here\SendTo
