Now, each time you drag a file or folder onto the archive’s icon (or

into its open window), Windows automatically stuffs a copy of it
inside.

Of course, you haven’t exactly saved any disk space, since now
you have two copies (one zipped, one untouched). If you’d rather

move a file or folder into the archive—in the process deleting the
full-size version and saving disk space—then right-drag the file or
folder icon onto the archive icon. Now, from the shortcut menu,

choose Move Here.

To turn an existing file or folder into a .zip archive, right-click

its icon. (To zip up a handful of icons, select them first, and then
right-click any one of them.) Now, from the shortcut menu, choose
“Send to” → “Compressed (zipped) Folder.” You’ve just created a

new archive folder and copied the files or folders into it.
