So when you compress files...would it degrade the quality once you uncompress it?

nope, just makes the file size smaller.

I think though that if you want to compress a sizeable file, ie. 500MB+, you'd be better off using winRAR:

It's more effective at compressing larger files while winZIP is more effective where smaller file sizes are concerned. I'm pretty sure that's the case anyway.

Winrar works good, not to say winzip doesn't...

But 7zip is free and even better than zip and rar :)
