Compress a large folder in Windows.

Is there a tool available which can compress a folder? I tried with
WinZip but it doesn't do that job right. Total size of my folder is
over 800 Meg. I would like to compress as small as possible. Any help
would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

try 7zip.

Windows supports compressed folders natively.  All you have to do is
right click on the folder you want to compress and select
"Properties".  You will see a check box on the properties dialog that
will allow you to compress the folder.

Good Luck.

Try winrar. To compress many files (like a folder) you can choose
"create a solid file", that's the best compression for multiple files
I know. Also select "best compression".
