"Compressed (zipped) Folder" is missing from "Send To" menu, what can be the workaround? #614
Description
Hi,
The following problem:
I heard the developer is working on it on later updates, but what would be the workaround for now?
I dont want to use PowerShell, I want to use exactly the built-in compression (C:\Windows\System32\zipfldr.dll, known as C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo\Compressed (zipped) Folder.ZFSendToTarget).
I did try: modify(find="Compressed (zipped) folder" in="/Send to" menu="COMPRESS"). But the problem is this doesnt always work (for ex when selecting multiples files, or certain file extensions doesnt allow for "Compressed (zipped) Folder" option to pop up).
+even if fixed in future updates, it would be nice if I can detach/remove it from "Send to" menu and have it on it's own as an item on right-click's menu
Let me know if my explanation wasn't clear,

This should be fixed in Nilesoft Shell Pro, a community fork of Nilesoft Shell that I maintain (not an official Nilesoft build). Windows fills the Send to and New submenus after the menu opens, and Shell now reads them again once they are filled. The fix is based on #846.
If you want to try it: https://github.com/Abdullah-Masood-05/Shell/releases/latest. Uninstall the original Nilesoft Shell first, since the two don't replace each other. I could only test it on my own machines, so I'd like to hear whether it works for you.
