If you perform the same compression tasks on a regular basis, you can use PowerZip Macro Files to make such tasks a one-click operation.

PowerZip's Macro support let's you save all of the compression or extraction options to a file. Then you can simply double-click on the file to repeat the operation.

For example, suppose you perform a daily backup, compressing the contents of folders C:\My Documents, C:\Work and selected files from other folders. You can create a PowerZip Macro file containing the names of all items to be compressed as well as the desired compression options. You can then perform the backup by simply double-clicking on the Macro file.

Creating a PowerZip Macro file is just as easy as performing the same task normally though PowerZip.

To create a PowerZip Macro File:

1. Click on the Macro button on PowerZip's toolbar
2. Select whether you would like to zip or unzip files
3. Enter the name of the Macro file you wish to create
4. Click OK
5. You will be presented with the normal Compression or Extraction Wizard
6. Once you complete the Wizard, PowerZip will save all of the settings into the Macro file

To play a PowerZip Macro File:
