Selecting several files, then clicking on SEND TO|COMPRESSED ZIP FOLDER
creates a new zip folder here. Have you tried it?

Hi Chris,

To restore the default Zip for XP: Go to Start/Run and type in:
regsvr32 zipfldr.dll

Go to Window Explorer/Tools/Folder Options/File Types/Scroll down to
Zip (If it doesn't exist, create it). Edit the Open Command to
re-associate it with the program that you are using to extract Zip
files.

Alternatively you can locate a zip file, hold down the shift key, open
with and choose from the list.

Other options:

Go to Start/Run/Regedit and navigate to this key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\.zip

In the right pane, double click PerceivedType and change it to:
compressed

If that still doesn't restore the function, use this edit:
