If you already have the answer, why did you ask the question?

@dias, please enjoy your life more. little things like this shouldn't upset you at all.

OK, let's assume the OP didn't mean "I already know how to do this".

You can use rar.exe which comes with WinRAR, or the command line program addon for Winzip. Which one were you thinking of?

You're the guy who turned the 'O' to '0'.

Yes you can do that too. You can zip an entire folder tree.

Not with makecab, which only does files. Winzip or WinRAR which I mentioned before.

ok. thanks.

You can download the free compressors 7zip (Windows GUI) and 7za.exe (command line) which can compress files and folders into zip files.

Click on "Command Line Version" for 7za.exe which is in a zip archive - so you may need 7zip to unarchive it.

I remember seeing a picture somewhere with a creepy guy saying "Remember kids, the bigger your postcount is, the bigger your.....".
