    SendTo : Compressed (Zipped) Folder : Default?


    Hello all:
    I went a bit nutty and started over-customizing my "Send To" folder, located at "C:\Users\Daniel\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo". In the middle of moving shortcuts around, I lost the shortcut labeled "Compressed (zipped) folder". This is the Windows7 default, not connected to WinZip or TUGZip or any third-party app. How can I get this link back? I have no idea where the exe is located.

    PS: I should mention that I tried to change it to open with TUGZip, but decided I wanted the default instead.

    Anyone able to help?

    Why worry? The native compression is rubbish. Install WinRAR or 7ZIP and get some real compression power under the hood instead - I always delete the native 'send to' function for compression, it's a waste of space

    Hello Qdos:
    Yeah, I think you're right. I really don't know why I want the default back. I use TUGZip for all my compression needs. I just don't know how to add the correct shortcut to TUGZip in the Send To folder. Would you happen to know anything about that?

    Hello Daniel,

    This tutorial below can show you how to restore the default Send To contect menu items.

    Send To Context Menu - Remove or Restore Default Items

    If you wanted to restore the default ZIP association used in Windows 7 as well, then using the ZIP download in the tutorial below can restore it for you after a restart.

    Hope this helps,
    Shawn
