Hi,

Is it possible to program windows to automatically zip a file every day at the same time?

Thanks in advance.
 
Scheduled Tasks.. but you would have to come up with some sort of script to run the zip process...
 
And how can I make that script?

David
 
well first you need to pick a program that will zip things in dos...

then you use their command structure and create a batch file... then put the batch file into the scheduled tasks..
 
Winrar supports command line archiving.
So you can create a simple batch file and run it as a scheduled task every day!
