In Windows XP Explorer, I can right-click on a folder and choose "Send
To Compressed (zipped) Folder" to create a ZIP file. How can I do
this programmatically, through the Win32 API or a batch file? I would
prefer to use Windows XP's native support for ZIP files, rather than a
third-party component. Thanks.
