I was wondering, is zipping a file through right click have to do with command lines? Or should I say, is it possible to zip a file through a command line or program?
I am using windows xp home.

on linux i can zip using ...
Code:zip <NameOfZip.zip> <files>
hmm so I am guessing you can do it on windows. Sorry I should have said before, I am using windows xp.
You have to have a command line version of a Zip/Compression utility to do it from the Dos prompt.
My personal preference is 7-zip which supports many many different compression formats. Here's some Linkage.
thank you very much, this helps alot!
Rune Hunter, winrar supports command line zipping, I've done it from a program before so I know it works.
C:\Program Files\WinRAR\rar.txt
There ya go.
Uploaded in case you can't find it for some reason.
Get winrar here:

It looks like you already have your solution, but incase you wanted to know the command line equivalnt of the built in compression in Windows XP can be used by the command COMPACT. Type COMPACT /? for more info of course
yes that rar.txt file is exactly what I needed! Thank you all so much!
