Zipping from a command prompt.

[Guest]

I'm looking for a way to use the built in windows xp zip utility from a
command prompt. I want to run a batch file that zips up an enitre folder.

Does anyone know of a way to do this???

Thanks,
Kory

Zip support is provided by the zipfldr.dll file. The methods
(functions) within it are called by Explorer. You have no way from the
command line to call those methods. You will need 3rd party software to
have command-line programs for zipping up files. 7-Zip is free and can
be ran from the command line.
