I have recently installed Win XP on my home computer. Is there a compression/decompression programme in XP. or does one need to install something like Winzip (which I used on Win98)? |

winXP has a compression/decompression program built into it, however useing winzip/winrar/winace is a lot better. i prefer winrar myself. |

The Win XP compression utility works very well. Simply select your documents to be zipped/unzipped, right-click, choose Send To then select which option you require (zip or unzip). A Wizard will start allowing you to choose the destination of your compressed/uncompressed folder and you are done. No idea why that would be worse than using WinZip or WinRar but it sure is simple. And free. |

If all you need to work with are Zip files then the built in XP one is perfectly fine for it. If you need to use rar, ace and other formats then I would grab something like Power Archiver (http://www.powerarchiver.com) which can do the works.
As for which format is better than another format. I played around a lot the other night with different formats and couldn't really see any clear winners out of them. |
