Windows Forum / Windows XP / Basics / July 2007XP Zip Utilty
Hello According to what I've read form Microsoft; when I'm in "my computer" while in the C root, I should be able to go to the file menue and select: new and then compressed folder to create a new compressed folder, which I can not do. Yet, if I right click on a folder I'm able to compress it. Does any one know: are the two mutually exclusive or is there something wrong with the software? Thanks. > According to what I've read form Microsoft; when I'm in "my computer" > while [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > software? > Thanks. And what does "which I can not do" mean"? That the File menu isn't shown in Windows Explorer? That there is no File -> New submenu? That under the File -> New submenu that there is no "Compressed (Zipped) Folder" entry? That when you select a drive or folder under which to place the new folder that using File -> New -> Compressed (Zipped) Folder does not create a new folder with the name already selected for you to give it a name? That the new folder gets created but you cannot open it? We're not there to know firsthand what "can not do" means. Where did they find you??????????????????????????????????? > > According to what I've read form Microsoft; when I'm in "my computer" > > while [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > you to give it a name?

Definitely at the "refuse to give details" place. http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm http://users.tpg.com.au/bzyhjr/liszt.html http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/555375 > Where did they find you??????????????????????????????????? What, I should've offered a couple more dozen guesses in trying to figure out what "can not do" meant? The assumption is that while you might want to compress a folder or files, you're unlikely to want to compress an entire phsyical partition. If you wish to create a ZIP of an entire partition, you'll need a 3rd party utility.

Hi What it looks like to me is that I need to "Re associate" the "XP compressed file/folder Utility" : does anyone have a clue how to do that? > The assumption is that while you might want to compress a folder or files, > you're unlikely to want to compress an entire phsyical partition.

If one googles long enough I guess you can find anythig! Now for another subject: I have been using the " news forum" for over (6) years and almost without exception the people using the service have been very responsible and helpful. That is until now; Microsoft should exclude people how violate the rules of contact they signed up for when they joined. Vanguard.

Vanguard. > Thanks. I don't believe your claim that you have been visiting the Usenet for 6 years; otherwise, you would have a clue as to how it operates. Forums that are operated by a company or controlled by a suite of moderators are not what is Usenet. This is Usenet, not Microsoft. Everyone here is a volunteer, or a visitor such as yourself. It is a community of *users*. It is NOT somewhere for you to get free access to Microsoft's technical support employees. If you want to talk to Microsoft support, pay for it. Usenet is an anarchy. Usenet was derived from "user network". Note the term "user". It's not called MSnet or Micronet. Despite Microsoft's attempt to usurp newsgroups for their own purpose, like wrapping them under a webnews-for-dummies interface and adding keywords to the headers for "suggestion" categories, Microsoft doesn't control Usenet. The microsoft.public.* newsgroups are unmoderated. Go read: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usenet http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newsgroups |
