You can also create an archive from within Windows Explorer. In Windows Explorer, select the files which you would like to add to the new archive, then right click them. A popup context menu will appear which provides 2 add options as explained below:

· Add To Archive … : The Add To … dialog box will be shown, allowing you to enter the filename for the new archive and to select the location where you want the new archive to be created. When you are done, click the Save button. An archive file with the name you entered will be created at the location you specified and the files you selected are automatically added.

· Add To “ArcFileName.zip” : An archive file with the filename shown (ArcFileName.zip) will be created in the current folder and the files you selected are automatically added. If you selected a single file, its filename will be used for the archive file. If you selected more than a single file, the name of its parent folder will be used for the archive file.
