Yes.

But it involves using "scripting" and the use of System.FileSystemObject (a good keyword). You should be able to use cscript/WSH which can run VBScript or JScript (WSH 5.6 comes with XP). The general idea is here. There are some other interesting "issues" with this approach though; the operations runs asynchronously and the compression dialog box may appear -- but it can be done using standard XP tools.

I would recommend downloading 7-zip. It is a 200~400k standalone command-line executable (depending on version), but it requires an initial "install" to grab the executable first. You don't need the GUI to run 7-zip.

Short answer: No. Explanation: https://serverfault.com/questions/39071/does-windows-have-a-built-in-zip-command-for-the-command-line

No, there is no command line support for the native zip/unzip library that comes with windows XP. The only solution would be to use a uncompressing library.
