[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1019763"] I'm assuming you're compressing these files by right-clicking on a selected file or folder of files and choosing "Compress (file name)" from the contextual menu, right? If so, this creates a bog-standard ZIP file that any PC on earth should be able to unzip. The only way I could see a PC user having trouble (apart from user incompetence, which is a huge problem on the Windows side of things), is if the files themselves lacked the proper extensions -- you know, .jpg or .doc or whatever type of file you're working with there. If a file you're trying to send doesn't have a visible extension, either add the appropriate one by renaming, or "Get Info" on the file (command-i) and uncheck the "hide extension" box. [/QUOTE]
