Compress A Folder In Windows 7

Windows 7 has built in compression, so you do not need to purchase a third party utility to compress your folders and files. Compressing a folder or file in Windows 7 is simple. Just right click the folder or file, point to Send To and click Compressed (zipped) Folder.
An alternative to compressing multiple folders and files is to create a single compressed folder and add to it those folders and files that you want to compress.
You can create a new compressed folder in Windows 7 using the following steps:
- Open Windows Explorer.
- From the File menu, point to New and click Compressed (zipped) folder.
- Type in a name for the folder.
- Press Enter.
Yep, just like it was in Windows XP!

Unfortunately the Performance at least in Windows 7 RC is still as bad as XP and Vista. I downloaded 7 zip, its way faster.
Windows 7 told me it would take 2+hrs that 7zip can compress in 12 mins.
