yesterday I was looking for a way to make a Compression Queue with Winrar so I wouldn't have to wait 20+ minutes for it to finish compressing the files inside a folder with a set profile so I went around looking for information... everything I found was useless until I looked into the Winrar's help index

How to make a Compression Queue for multiple locations and files?
it's simple:
From the shell association select "add to archive..." once the window opens and you set all the desired options, go to the "Advanced" tab and check in the "System" section "Wait if other winrar copies are active" now just save this profile and run it all the times you want while there are winrar jobs working, this way the compressions will happen in succession and you can go to bed leaving winrar to do all the queue you have setted

Do you know any great compression software, other than WINRAR?

Useful information for Word 2003 and Acrobat reader/creator users

if you uninstalled acrobat and the damn menus still remain on word, there's a simple solution go to //Program Files/Microsoft Office/OFFICE11/startup and in there delete the file named PDFMaker, and you are done, no more acrobat menu on word
