I've got a bunch of pictures...
I'd like to host them on a site with very limited space so people can download the whole batch and extract the zip..
Is there a good program for this?
Thanks

If you have Windows XP, select the set of files and right-click on them and

"Send To -> Compressed (zipped) Folder"

I think it uses the first file as the name of the zip file. Just rename it (F2).

Tip: to select several files in Explorer...
drag a box around them in explorer
or
select each one holding down the CTRL key
or
select a continuous set by holding down SHIFT for the first one and the last one.

You can also combine SHIFT with CTRL, etc.


Also, you can use this technique to compress an entire folder (and all of it's sub-folders) - Sometimes much easier then selecting individual files.
