SOLVED Zip to a different folder in Windows 7

[seveny]

Windows 7 lets you send a folder SomeFolder to a "compressed (zipped) folder" in the same location as SomeFolder. Is there a way to create the compressed folder at an arbitrary location of my choosing? For space reasons, I don't want to initially create the compressed folder at the same place SomeFolder.

I am using Windows 7 Professional 64-bit.

You can do that with WinRAR or numerous free alternatives but I'm not aware of a way to do it with the built-in zip function.

See our Freeware DB for some zip alternatives.

Thanks Trainable.
