Author Topic: I can't make a compressed folder.  (Read 1502 times)

When I go to my desktop, I right-click, hit new, and it gives me a list of crap with everything Except for "Compressed folder"

Is there a different way?

I think its something like "Send (to)... -> Compressed folder". Not sure though, I use Vista and it has been translated into Finnish. But, worth trying.

EDIT: 2 additional ways to make yourself a .zip:

Way number 1:
  • Go to WinRar or any program that can make .zips.
  • Create a new .zip.
  • Add your files to it.
  • If required, rename the file(s).


This was pretty much simplified, though, and I haven`t ever done compressed folders this way. I can create them directly.

Way number 2:
  • Download an existing .zip.
  • Open it.
  • Delete everything in it.
  • Copy & paste your files to the .zip.
  • Rename the .zip file.


Atleast this should work.
