Creating a Zip File

Zipped files are significantly smaller than unzipped files and allow you to combine multiple files into one single file.

Create a Zip File

  1. Select the Start button on your computer.
  2. From the Windows Explorer view, select the directory location of the files.
  3. Hold down the CTRL key and select the files you want to include in the zip file. Release the CTRL key when you have selected all the files to include in the zip file.
  4. Right click on highlighted files.
  5. Select Send To->Compressed Zip file.

This will create a zip file in the location of the original files.
