To zip a file, right click on the file, select, "Send to", and then, "Compressed".To unzip file, right click on the file, select "Extract all" and follow the prompts.If you want to password protect a zip file, after zipping the file, double click the zip file to open, then select "File" and then "Add a Password".RJ
