Hi.

Yes, xp has basic zip handling, its called Compressed Folders. Make sure that your using Legacy compression when sending your zip file else the person receiving it will need WinZip to extract it. Incidentally, are you using the email companion or WinZip proper to compress then email the file?

All the best, Ibrahim.

Hi

I am trying to send a file to someone, the person who I want
to receive the file doesn't know much about computers at
all, winzip is something totally new and strange to him. Is
there a way of sending an exe file without zipping it up.
Avast thinks it's a virus. I have given the person the
program in a zip file but he's new to zip files and that's
something I'm going to have to teach him about later on.
Would windows xp just open the zip file without winzip?

Regards

Adrien
