Problem Compressing Code Composer 4.1 Project Folders

I'm running Code Composer 4.1 with Windows XP.   My problem is that when I compress a project folder using the 'Send To' file compression utility any folder starting with a .  (.metadata, .launches and .settings) aren't being included in the compressed file.  Any ideas on how to get these folders included in the .zip?

    This is not a CCS issue but an issue with the default windows zip utility that you are using. It seems to filter out files/folders that start with a period. You can probably change this setting somewhere in windows (I don't know where). I don't use the windows zip utility but instead I use winzip or winrar and both of those have no issue.

    Thanks

    Thank you for your quick reply. 

    I only brought this up because I've been zipping folders in this manner for years using various development system and have never had a problem.  Part of the problem here is that Code Composer/ Eclipse is using . in front of folder names which is not completely Window's XP friendly.  I managed to correctly zip my project folders under Window's XP by using the command line 'compact' command.

    Thanks again.

    Yes, that is a standard Eclipse thing. Eclipse is cross platform and not just Windows focused. Thanks for the update
