Edit: Found the patch. However, it's not working as expected. I thought it would work like zipmagic, generatering REAL folders. It works just like any other zip-Program, a window with the zip file's contents popping up.

Hi!

The Patch for "Compressed Folders" in Windows 2000 mentioned in

http://www.ntcompatible.com/faq219.shtml

is gone (404).

It would be very nice if someone can send me the patch or the new download adress.

http://www.ntfaq.com/Articles/Index.cfm?ArticleID=16098

describes another way to get compressed folders in w2k. So, If someone could send me the files dunzip.dll, dunzip32.dll, dzip.dll, dzip32.dll and zipfldr.dll from his w98plus!-cdrom, i'd also be very happy.

thx a lot

If you want to compress a folder, go to Windows Explorer. Right click on the folder you want to compress. Go to Properties, then advanced and click the compress checkbox.

hi!

thx for your tip, but I'm using FAT32, doesn't seem to work with it, only with NTFS, I guess.

The reason why I'm needing it is that I want to browse zip-files with an database utility.

On w98, zipmagic or netzip worked fine, but I can't get them to run on w2k.
