How Do I Create a ZIP file?

  1. Windows Vista has the ability to create ZIP files without installing any extra applications.
  2. Here are the steps to create a ZIP file from a folder of images and a file that accompanies the folder (an example of this would be saving your PowerPoint as HTM):
  3. Hold down the Control key and click the folder and the file that you want to use for the ZIP file to select them.
  4. Let go of the Control key and right-click either of the selected items and then choose Send To, Compressed (zipped) Folder (see the image below).
