I am posting this tip as a reference.
It's another 'quick' way to compress/decompress EXE's using UPX and the SendTo feature.
It does not give you any control over compression ratios though.
1) Place UPX in the c:\ folder
2) Go into your SendTo folder ...
Win9X >>> c:\windows\sendto\ (not sure)
WinXP >>> c:\documents and settings\USERNAME\SendTo
3) Create a shortcut in the SendTo folder
4) For the location of the item choose
c:\UPX.exe
Click [Next]
5) For the shortcut name this will do:
UPX Compress
Click [Finish]
6) Right-Click on your shortcut and choose Properties
In the target field enter
C:\upx.exe -9 "%1"
Click [OK]
Now, when you wish to compress any suitable *.exe ..
1) right-click and select 'Sent To ->'
2) Choose 'UPX Compress' to compress/decompress the file.
NB: You might see an error message in the dos window.
The compression still goes ahead.
