Compressed (Zipped) files

Nathan

I'd like to create a simple backup utility for myself, which would involve
selecting a group of files and sending them to a compressed folder in WinXP.
Can someone point me in the right direction of learning how to utilize
compressed folders in WinXP?

Nathan,

Either use ComponentOne, which is included in the free VB ResourceKit, or
use the Zip-Library from J#. I can't provide links at the moment, because
I'm not working on "my" machine.

Are you sure that will create a Windows XP "Compressed Folder" (this can
be selected for a folder in its extended properties)?
