What program or DLL is used to compress files in XP? I know compact is for
the file system, but what is used when you want to make a zip and do not have
a 3rd part add-on such as winzip. I have been searching, but have not found
an answer. |

Click Start=>Help and Support" In the Search bar, type "Compressed Folders".
In "Pick a Task" section, look for "Create a zipped compressed folder".

WinXP does it.

LINK will redirect you to their new home, Microsoft.com. You
can get Process Explorer, do some testing and figure it out. Or even just
open Task Manager to the Processes tab and then watch it while you create a
"compressed folder". Sort on CPU to see which one(s) are doing the most when
the actual compression occurs.

Most of the work is done by Explorer.exe. However there is a file called
zipfldr.dll involved.
