QUICK 75 Points! Automating Winzip?

Is there a way to automate Winzip so that at 12noon everyday it automatically zips up two files in my C:\ drive?

if you download the above add-on, you can then open notepad to create a batch file. enter something like...

wzzip test.zip first_file.txt second_file.txt


then save the file as 'zip.bat'
Now just go into task scheduled in the control panel and add a task to execute this batch file at 12pm every day.

I downloaded the add-on.  I have Winzip 9.0 SR-1.

How do I schedule a routine zip on my 2 files?  Is writing a batch file the only way to do this?  Or is there a way to do it from within WinZip?
