I am running Win XP Pro sp1 and under Windows Explorer, the File > New >
Compressed Folder option is missing, does anyone know why? I can't find
anything on the KB

I had Winzip installed before but have removed it. I would like to be able
to use the native compression utility in XP instead.

cheers

Hi Trace

Try this - from Start>Run type

regsvr32 zipfldr

Please note the space between the 2 and z.
