Wow! Thanks wr975! ;)

I have tried to study AHK help files, but I am pretty sure I wouldn't have been able to find your solution (I tought there was something to do with "Fileremovedir" http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/commands.htm
! Obviously this was not so easy!)

I am posting a summary of the full solution in my next message.
Thank you again ;)

Here is a summary of the solution, thanks to wr975 ;)  :

1/ Buy winrar (forget Winzip, Powerarchiver or PCAL...) (you can use the discount available here https://www.donationcoder.com/Reviews/Archive/ArchiveTools/index.html)
2/ Download and install Autohotkey (freeware http://www.autohotkey.com/), then you can double click the script
3/ Save the following code as "whatever.ahk" script file:
Code:
FileSelectFolder,SourcePath,,0,Select Source Folder
   If SourcePath =
      ExitApp

FileSelectFolder,TargetPath,*%SourcePath%,0,Select Target Folder
   If TargetPath =
      ExitApp

Loop,%SourcePath%\*.*,2,0
{
   FolderSize = 0
   Loop, %A_LoopFileFullPath%\*.*, , 1
      FolderSize += %A_LoopFileSize%
   If FolderSize >0
      RunWait,c:\Program Files\WinRar\WinRar.exe a -r -ep1 -m3 "%TargetPath%\%A_LoopFileName%.zip" "%A_LoopFileFullPath%\*.*"
}
Note: -m5 = compression ratio (0 to 5). Change it to -m0 for no compression... -m3 standard compression... -m5 max compression
You can also add "-inul" after "-m3" if you don't want any error to be reported by winrar.


Thanks again to all helpers, your help was much appreciated as I was waiting for about 2 years for such a thing! ;)
See ya,
Jity
