Zipping correctly in Windows

Disclaimer #1 - I've never programmed a thing in my life.
Disclaimer #2 - I know this question has been asked before, but I didn't see a solution that applied to Windows users. I'm using Vista.

I wanted to play around with the audioapp to figure out how to make myself a streaming "radio" channel, but I can't figure out how to get the files to zip correctly on my computer. If I even just try to unzip and rezip the sample apps they do not zip correctly, no matter the setting.

Can someone who is making workable zip files let me know how they're doing it?

Thanks!

Re: Zipping correctly in Windows

What are you using to zip? In Windows, I used the right click, "send to compressed folder" option and that worked fine.

I have winrar installed, so I was using that. I didn't even think to use the "send to compressed folder" option. It works great. Thanks!
