Sometimes it is necessary for you to send a bunch of small files or a few files that are too big to send. Zipping files allows you to send them in a smaller, more compressed version in a neat little package. Below are instructions for zipping files for a Windows XP user:
Creating a Zip File to send
Have your files saved somewhere in the same location
- Click to select your files (hold the Ctrl key down to select multiple files)
- Right-mouse click one of the selected files
- Click Send-To > Compressed Zip folder
- It will create a zipped file with a default name from one of the files. To change the name, right-mouse click, choose Rename and type a new name (Note: be sure to keep the .zip extension at the end of the filename)
If you want to email your zip file, you will need to password-protect it in order to get through our spam blocker.
Password protecting a Zip File
Right-mouse click the zipped file
Click Explore
Click File > Add a Password
Type the password in both boxes
To remove a password
Repeat the same steps as above but choose Remove Password
I do not even know how I ended up here, but I thought this post was good.
I do not know who you are but certainly you are going to a famous blogger if you are not already
Cheers!
