    Hi, I was wondering if there is a way to enter a location of a file, lets say my legal backups of games on the computer (I have over 1000 originals, not including duplicates, so trying to find one from my collection for the original system can sometimes be a pain...) and tell it to put each file into an individual .zip with its own filename. I have some programs capable of running the games like that, without needing to keep it decompressed all of the time. However, it would take a very long time to get all of the files I want through right clicking and telling it to save to a .zip file. I am wanting to use a lot with my PSP as well, but space is limited there. Anyway, I was wondering if there is some way to do it? I have spent a while trying to get it done, but keep running into trouble and have to do it one at a time.


    Thanks for your time, and thanks in advance for any advice you may have.

    I use 'WinRAR'.
    Open the folder containing the files.
    'Edit' 'Select All' (they are highlighted).
    Right click on one and from the sub menu, 'Add to Archive'
    On the 'Files' tab, 'Put each file to separate archive'.
