As we all know, the Send to menu appears when we right click on a file or folder in Windows Explorer. It contains some useful elements, including “Compressed (zipped) folder”, which allows you to create a ZIP file of the selected files/folders in a few seconds without using a third-party compression program. This is really a useful option.
However, sometimes this item is accidentally or intentionally deleted from the Send To menu.
Causes of this error:
If the Compressed (Zipped) folder does not appear in the Send To menu, it may be due to one of the following reasons:
- The SendTo folder does not contain the “ZFSendToTarget compressed folder” file.
- The settings for the ZFSendToTarget file assignment are missing or incorrect.
- The SendTo folder contains a 0-byte Bluetooth file that delays the rendering of the SendTo menu.
The following tutorial will help you restore this useful item in the Send to menu:
