i need to upload a .html doc with image files. Can Firefox create a zip folder and/or convert files to compressed/zip so I can upload as 1 folder? My XP explorer has no option to make a zip folder and I cant afford to buy winzip.

Firefox and all other browsers can not create zip folders because it is a browser, not a specific zip program. An excellent freeware zip program you can download from here:

or

already tried 7zip - can't figure out how to use it and it took over my browser so I uninstalled it. I'll try the hippo one. If you know any others that are extremely user friendly let me know. Thanks.
