No zip utility?

[Robin]

Just wondering if Vista has a zip utility? I know about Winzip, etc but XP
had a zip utility with it, as did the other previous versions of Windows. I
cannot find Vista's zip utility.

Thanks

Locate the file or folder that you want to compress.
Right-click the file or folder, point to Send To, and then
click Compressed (zipped) Folder.

There is one just like in XP but you are better off to install 7-Zip as
that handles RAR files too which is used for compression quite often too.

Ok that worked. But when I tried to unzip, it went right to Winzip. I want
to be able to unzip files also.

To extract the entire contents of the compressed folder, right-click the folder, click Extract All, and then follow the
instructions.

Sorry, nvm. Evidentally I still have Winzip installed. I uninstalled it
and now it goes to the Windows version of zip utility.

Thanks for the help, everyone

Carey,

When I right click, there's not Extract All option to select?
