There you have your decompressed original files (and folders).

you can create a new (empty) zipped folder, and copy or move files and folders into it to compress them. This is a great way to create smaller files for uploading or emailing.\n\nHere is a shortcut to this whole process that you may find even handier. You can right-click a file or folder -> Send To -> Compressed (Zipped) Folder to create a zipped folder that has the same root name as the file. For instance, if you right click the file MyFile.txt, and send it to a Compressed Folder, then a new folder will appear called MyFile.zip in the same folder as MyFile.txt. If you double-click MyFile.zip, you will see that it contains a copy of MyFile.txt.\n\nYou can select multiple files or folders by holding down the CRTL key while you click individual ones, or by clicking the first one in a list, and holding down SHIFT while you click the last one in a list. Then you can right-click the selected files and use the Send To process above to send them all to a Compressed (Zipped) Folder. The newly created zipped file will use one of the names of the files or folders that you copied, except it will end in .zip for the extension. I'm not sure how Windows decides which filename it chooses, but if you don't like it, you can always right-click the new file, and choose Rename to change the name.

You want to use one of the many zip files such as Winzip or RarZip. I'm not sure how much you can zip (compress) a video file. I just tried to Winzip a video fil on my comp that is 20,437 kb and after zipping it was only reduced to 20,230 kb.\n\nYour other choice would be to set up your own ftp site. FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is basically a very simple website. A company such as ftpworldwide will allow you to set up your own ftp site on their servers for as little as $35 - $40 a month.

Winrar is good product to use!!\nThere is product u can compress from 2GB to 10mb...just like u said!!!\n\nIt's called "KGB Archiver".  This is one most superme compression i ever know..u can compress from GB to MB or maybe KB!!!\n\nHowever, it takes a lot of time to compress it\nFor example, if u have 2GB software, u want to compress into 2mb...it at least 30 hrs to do it....it depends on ur system...(the better system u have, the less time u will have to wait)\n\nThe KGB system will take 90% of ram to do it!!!\n\nif u have slower system, it might take u a month or even year to compresss from 2GB to 2MB!!!\n\nDonwload and Description here:\n\nhttp://kgbarchiver.sourceforge.net/

No such utility exists.\nAll compression must be done server side.

If you have WinRAR you should simply be able to unrar all the files into a temporary location and re-compress them into a cab file.  WinRAR supports both archive types, but I don't think it will do a direct conversion.

use a compression utility called winRAR. Compress it then email the compressed archive to your buddy.

As a serious tip, if you need more disk space, delete things, or buy a new hard drive.  The 'compress old files' is a terribly implemented feature in Windows XP.  I recommend not using it.

It all depends what format your file is. It could be compressed in rar type. In which case you need to unzip it with winrar tool you can google this. Or you may just need the appropriate media player. Quite often Windows Media Player wil not work. Try another player like Windows media classic or VLC player.
