Creating A Compressed (Zip) Folder

I am trying to compress an image that is 3.6Mb in size. When I create a zip file the new image is the same size-it is not being reduced. Am I doing something wrong or is there something wrong with the program.

Thanks.

1. Select the file(s) and/or folder(s) you want to compress. If you want to zip just one file or folder, skip to

step 2. Otherwise, there are two ways to select multiple files and folders:

To select a consecutive group of files or folders, click the first item, then hold down the Shift key and click on the last item. The two files/folders you selected and everything in between will be selected.

To select non-consecutive files or folders, hold down the Ctrl key as you select the individual files and/or folders.

2. Right-click on the file or folder (or group of files or folders), then point to Send to and select Compressed (zipped) folder.

3.Name the ZIP file. Enter the name you want the zipped file to have or hit Enter to accept the suggested filename.Regards:
