Compressing files in windows
I want to compress a file using the command line. This command-line
C: compact /c aa.xml
returns a successful message but I can't see any ZIP file in the C folder. Where is the problem?

1I'll give you a hint: `compact` doesn't compress things. It tells NTFS to do so. – Marcelo Cantos May 14 '10 at 10:10

If you want to compress from shell, install command-line archiver and put it in path. – May 14 '10 at 10:14

The COMPACT command isn't for compressing file like zip compression.
If you want create zip file via the command line, try the 7-Zip application. Here are examples for using it from the command-line: http://dotnetperls.com/7-zip-examples
