    Sending Zip files


    I've been sending Zip files with no problems in past but this year these same files have been unable to be opened.

    The ERROR message when trying to open is Ox 8000 4005. Running Windows 10 on my System.

    Have done some research & it is possible the Zip Compression Method [ALGORITHM] is incorrect.

    *Can you explain how I can find this in WINDOWs 10 & amend if need [I thought this is inbuilt in WINDOWs 10?

    Also Research has suggested that I should download WINZIP or 7-ZIP to fix this problem.

    Can you give me some HELP with this PLEASE.

    Thanks Lynne

    :)

    ZIPping files

    Windows can zip a file (or multiple files) without needing extra software.

    • Select the files you want.
    • Right-click any one of the selected files.
    • Select Send to > Compressed (zipped) folder from the context menu.
    • If you have Windows 8, 8.1 or 10, you can also click Zip on the
      Share tab of the ribbon.

    Sending Zip files

    Windows 10 File or folder Zip feature

    I tried to compress a folder containing 15+ files. When I right clicked on the folder, moved to Send To, a selection for Bluetooth was the only option displayed. I repeated this step several times and then the listing included the file compression option,
    so I was able to zip the folder.

    I needed to zip another set of similar files. This time only the Bluetooth option displayed after right clicking on the folder, to view the available options listed under Send To.

    Does anyone have any idea what is wrong and how I can fix it?

    Thank you!
