Compressing E-mail Files

I am a newbee. I need help. I want my computer to Zip a file in the (Yellow Compressd (Zipped) Folder and send it to Outlook Express) My computer will zip the file but it wont send it to outlook or outlook express. It zips the file in winrar only and drops it in the folder I am working in..not everyone has winrar. I want it to zip in the yellow Compressed (Zipped) Folder and forward it as a attachment in on my e-mail. Howdo I fix this problam. I am attaching error message I get when I do this action. I hope I get Help I am frustrated as Hell. Thanks for the Help.

You willl need to do a two-step process.Right click on the desired file and ignore the winrar entries, going down to Send To instead. Choose compressed folder, and make note of where it is saved. Go to the compressed file's location (it should by default save to the same folder as the source file), and right-click and choose Send To again. This time select Mail Recipient, and your OE composition window should open with the file attached and ready to send.
