Depends what files they are. Things such as mp3s and avis are already compressed so zipping doesnt shave much more off the filesize.

Are you sure you didn't alter the compression field? It should be in the lower left hand corner of the "Add..." dialog.

If your zipping just a couple of smallish files the likelyhood is that there wont be a great difference between the original and zipped file size. Still a handy way of transfering multiple files at once tho.

yea make sute the compresion feild is on maximum or high.

ok im trying 2 compress about 90 something megs of pics and im not sure were is the button or thing 2 compress it and were can i change the compresion limit

   [*:38hvs4hr]Open Winzip.
    
    
    
   [*:38hvs4hr]Click the "New..." button.
    
    
    
   [*:38hvs4hr]Pick where you want to save the zip file, and a name for it, and hit OK.
    
    
    
   [*:38hvs4hr]You'll be presented with the "Add..." dialog, now look in the lower left corner of the dialog. There's a compression combo box there, select either maximum or high. Select all the files, click the 'Add' button.
    
    
    
   [*:38hvs4hr]Wait till it's finished, and click the Close button.

 

 

 

And you're done.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Though, as Mercifull pointed out, Photo's, Movies and sound files often do not compress very well.

k i did that on the maximum and it didn't affect it at all but thanks anyway as i remembered how 2 compress them for other stuff

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

thanks all
