compressing files (Zip)

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.newusers (More info?)

I have windowsXP installed. I want to know where to go to
zip files. I am taking classes online. My instructors
want files sent to them zipped. They said that if I have
windowsXP I don't need to purchased WinZip. I can't find
anything in my programs about compressing files. Can
anyone instruct me?

right click the file and select Send to->Compressed Folder
That will create a zip of file or folder up for you in the same location as
the original file or folder.
