ZIPFLDR.DLL gives Windows XP the native ZIP support.
I'd like to know what are the functions inside it I can use to zip/unzip files. Does anyone know?

IIRC zipfldr can unzip only.

zlib and 7zip are probably more useful, both are open source.

It can do both.

I found some interesting method here: http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/topic15135.html
Code:
//Create an empty zip file
byte[] emptyzip = new byte[]{80,75,5,6,0,0,0,0,0,
                  0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0};

FileStream fs = File.Create(args[1]);
fs.Write(emptyzip, 0, emptyzip.Length);
fs.Flush();
fs.Close();
fs = null;

//Copy a folder and its contents into the newly created zip file
Shell32.ShellClass sc = new Shell32.ShellClass();
Shell32.Folder SrcFlder = sc.NameSpace(args[0]);
Shell32.Folder DestFlder = sc.NameSpace(args[1]);
Shell32.FolderItems items = SrcFlder.Items();
DestFlder.CopyHere(items, 20);

Is that really zipping? I've never seen that before. Looks a little bit like cheating though, where is the use of zipfldr there?

zipfldr.dll is used indirectly, as a shell extension, the same as when you just drag-and-drop the files into the .zip file on Windows system supporting the .zip folders (or when you use the "Send to"->"Compressed folder" option from the file context menu).

It also assumes you are running explorer.exe as your shell.
