That's the right expectation John. Are you getting that menu option now?

Ramesh and Will Denny, thanks for your responses. I finally got a chance to get back on the "problem computer" and tried your recommendations. I got a confirming message that the command executed properly. However, I didn't get the response that I was looking for. My expectation was that I would now see the the icon and Compressed (zipped) Folder command on the sub menu of File-New in the Windows Explorer window (and in the right-click menu when clicked on the right pane). Is this the right expectation? How else do I find the Compressed Folder? John "Ramesh [MVP]" <ramesh@nojunkmails.com@mvps.org> wrote in message news:u7hpq4OWEHA.1368@TK2MSFTNGP10.phx.gbl... John, You can get back the "Compressed Folder" option by typing REGSVR32 ZIPFLDR.DLL in RUN box. BTW, Windows XP supports two types of compression, NTFS compression and compression by using the Compressed (zipped) Folders feature. Both are different.

You're right. The computer displaying the problem did have ZipItFast installed at one time. It has been uninstalled. Now, how to repair the damage? jwdiener "BAR" <BAR@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:D9E40751-79DD-46C1-AE85-336645561D65@microsoft.com... > The compressed ZIP folder is a part of the operating system. > > It may be altered when one installs a 3rd party ZIP manager such as Winzip [depending upon the installation settings chose by the operator on installation]. > > "John Diener" wrote: > > > Some versions of Windows XP (Home and Professionsl) allow you to select a > > New Compressed folder from the File menu in Widows Explorer, while other > > versions only allow files and folders to be compressed by going to > > Properties then Advanced to choose to compress the file/folder.
