Question Making a zip file with JPegs, am I doing it right?
Hi, I want to put some photos into a zip file to send over email. There are 21 of them and they are 800x600.I am on Win XP. Here is what I did:

I selected all of them,,, then I right clicked and clicked on send to compressed folder. That worked fine. The size of the folder tho is 6 MB and was taking forever to dl into the email. Did I do this right or totally wrong?? Maybe it is just because I am on old fashioned dial up and need to wait for it??? Any thoughts are appreciated...thanks...

It'll take a while to upload 6MB over dial-up. Yes, you zipped the files correctly, however, JPG files are already compressed. Zipping them won't compress them much more if at all.
