Your link above is to this very thread. I'm going to guess you mean the one titled: How to create and extract a Zip File in Windows ME/XP/2003 which is here: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/extract-zip-files-in-windows-me-xp-2003/

If it isn't that one, the other one is: How to create and extract a ZIP File in Windows 95/98/2000 which is here: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/create-and-extract-zip-files-in-windows-95-98-2000/

Those are both dated July 17, 2005 and created by Grinler, just at different times. So it would depend on which OS you are referring to.

Hope that helps.
