I am using Windows XP and couple of months back for some crazy reason I uninstalled WinZip from my machine. I was shocked to see that the native compressed zip options of XP is missing. I "googled" and found the quick way of restoring the windows xp's native zip file option.
Just do the following step to restore it.
Go to Start >> Run >> Regsvr32 Zipfldr.dll
That's all. Pretty neat isn't it.
