I am aware of Sharp Zip utility, but does anyone know how to create a zip file using the Compressed Folder utility that Windows uses?
 
I've never tried it, but codeproject has two resources that explain how to hook into the COM library to do this. It looks fairly straightforward.

I know it would be better to post code here, but I'd be ripping off the author's work and don't have time to research myself. Hopefully this will help:
