    Hi,

    Does anyone know why the option to send to a compressed (zip) file would be missing from the menu ? When you right click on a folder, select send to and the option is not there anymore.

    Hey All,

    Sorry but i found the Answer and for anyone interested here it is,

    To disable the Compressed (ZIP) Folder feature:

    1. Click on Start -> Run.
    2. Enter the following command in the Run text box:

    regsvr32 /u %windir%\system32\zipfldr.dll

    3. Restart the Windows for the change to be effective.

    To enable Compressed (ZIP) Folder support in Windows:

    1. Click on Start -> Run.
    2. Enter the following command in the Run text box (same command with above, except without the /u switch):

    regsvr32 %windir%\system32\zipfldr.dll

    3. Restart the Windows for change to take effect.
