    Can't Create Zip Folder Anymore


    Today, I just realised that when I tried to right click and click new, the Zip folder option wasn't there anymore. Can someone tell me why this is happening and how to solve it?

    At Open: , type regsvr32 %windir%/system32/zipfldr.dll
    and click Ok.

    Hello 7noob,

    Using step 3 in the tutorial below may be able to restore the New -> Compressed (zipped) Folder context menu item for you.
