Compress Files in Windows

4. Right-click any of the selected files, then choose Send to, Compressed (zipped) folder.

5. Windows will quickly compress the files and create a new, zipped file that's immediately ready to be renamed (if necessary--if not, just press Enter).

6. Attach your newly created Zip file to the e-mail.

That's all there is to it! Granted, that's pretty much the extent of Windows' Zip capabilities, but if that's all you need, why bother with third-party tools?
