Pre-configured WinZip Jobs

WinZip® Pro includes several pre-configured WinZip jobs that can assist you in zipping some common data.

To run one of the pre-configured jobs, simply open WinZip's Jobs menu and choose one of the following:

Zip My Documents: this job zips the contents of your My Documents folder and its subfolders. The resulting Zip file is called "My Documents.zip".
Zip My Desktop: this job zips the contents of your Desktop, including any folders that are on your Desktop. The resulting Zip file is called "My Desktop.zip".
Zip My Windows Favorites: this job zips the contents of your Windows Favorites folder and its subfolders. The resulting Zip file is called "My Favorites.zip".
Zip My E-mail: this job zips data for the default e-mail program, which must be either Microsoft Outlook or Microsoft Outlook Express. This job may not function correctly if your Outlook or Outlook Express data files do not reside in the default locations. The resulting Zip file is called "My Email.zip".
Zip My Documents, Desktop, Favorites, and E-mail: this job combines all four of the above into one job. The resulting Zip file is called "CombinedUserFiles.zip".

In all cases, the resulting Zip file is stored in a subfolder of My Documents named "My WinZip Files".

Notes

The items listed above represent the standard set that is included with WinZip Pro. If your copy of WinZip was installed by a system administrator, he or she may have elected to remove one or more of the pre-configured jobs. In that case, some or all of the jobs may not appear in your Jobs menu.
You can edit the pre-configured jobs using the Job Wizard. However, the jobs are stored in the WinZip folder in your Program Files, so you must have write permission in your Program Files folder, and any changes will be lost if you reinstall or update WinZip.
