I am researching the Windows 2003/XP Send to: Compressed (zipped) Folder
option, particularly, I wanted to see if command line options for zipping
files/folders are available natively within either the Windows 2003 or XP OS.
When I look at the properties of the Compressed (zipped) Folder, I found
that this option uses .ZFSendToTarget, which when researched appears to be a
type of file extention for Compressed Folder SendTo Target File.

I guess a simple question would be, are there any command line options
available natively in Windows 2003/XP to zip files/folders into a
compressed(zip) file?
Thanks,

Look into creating a Windows Shell Script and making use of the COMPACT.EXE
(located in C:\Windows\System32 by default). Open up a command window and
just pass the /? parameter to see all the options available.

You could possibly make use of the DLL that the Send To option is making use
of, but I've never tried my hand at that...I'm sure you could find a way to
wrap the compact option into what you're trying to do.
