Question Title How to Compress Folders and Files

To compress all files and sub-folders inside a folder, right click on the folder in Windows Explorer. To compress a file, right click on the file in Windows Explorer. After that, choose “Send To”. And when sub-menu comes out, click and select “Compressed (zipped) Folder”. Windows will now compress all the contents inside the folder or the file and create a compressed folder, more commonly known as zipped file. Rename the compressed folder to your desired name, and if you want, delete the original file or folder.

To compress multiple files and/or multiple folders, just launch the Windows Explorer, and select all the files and folders (sub-folders will be included automatically) by holding the Ctrl key while clicking. If you want to select files and folders that listed continuously, just holding the Shirt key, select the first item and the last item, and all items between them will be selected. Once selected, again, right click and click on “Send To”, and then “Compressed (zipped) Folder”. The name of the compressed folder will be based on the first file been compressed, so locate it and rename it to something meaningful. Delete the original files if you want.
