get a program called Winzip.
get it here:
http://www.winzip.com/
your can either pay $30 for it or take the 45 day trial that never expires, it'll just keep asking for you to register.

The 2 major prog used for this purpose are Winrar and Winzip which can be downladed from:
http://www.download.com
However, if ur using Windows XP, it is an integrated utility:
You simply right click a file or a folder and choose Send to > compressed (zipped) file from the pop up menu.
A new compressed file will be created instantly in the same location.

The one thing that everyone out there assumed was that you were running on a Windows/Mac platform. In general, the public answered correctly. But on UNIX type servers, you can use a combination of tar and compress, gzip to get you going. tar will create an uncompressed concatenation of the files you want to store. compress and gzip will do the actual compression for you. And of course there are others out there as well.

WinZip and WinRAR are two examples of software that do file compression.
Go to their sites and research them!

Try Winzip. It has been around a long time and is easy to use.

right click on whatever you want to compress, click send too... and then click compressed folder
then get rid of the duplicate and keep the compressed one
