@tcrusher25 Make multiple foldes and then zip each. Then send one zip per email.

when i click send to zip file.... it turns into a winzar and it is still not compressed?

[obperryo]

@shermanmychow I think you have another zipping program installed (Winzar). This video shows using the Windows built in zip program. Uninstall the Winzar to match the video. I'm not sure how you are determining that it is not zipped, but you can click on a zipped file and open it and view files just like a nonzipped folder, but once the first picture opens, you can't click through the picture from the picture viewer, you have to close and open each one to view it (when the file is zipped).

when i do this it doesnt make a folder all i see is a winzip icon (file drawer between jack over paper image thingy)

and i cant send it at all

what am i doing wrong

[obperryo]

@dlight247 You need to make sure you are right clicking on the folder that has your pictures in it... and that you select Compressed Folder (windows version of Winzip). The folder created should be the same name as your folder with pictures but be a compressed folder. Try to follow the video again carefully and hit pause if you need to when following alone.

@qwertj1 You are welcome. I did this for my dad and did really think about the benifit to others. Glad it helps. The other comment was from a soldier over overseas who wanted to send pictures home. Me feel good. Glad it helped you too.
