Place UPX in the c:\ folder
Go into your SendTo folder ...
Win9X >>> c:\windows\sendto\ (I think)
WinXP >>> c:\documents and settings\USERNAME\SendTo
Create a shortcut in the SendTo folder
For the location of the item choose c:\UPX.exe
Click [Next]
For the shortcut name UPX Compress will do.
Click [Finish]
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 a PB.exe (or any suitable *.exe) just right-click and select Sent To ->
You will see your UPX Compress option.
Choose that to compress the file.
NB: You might see an error message in the dos window but the compression still goes ahead.
