Sending your C++ sultion/project files in a ZIP files
Before creating the ZIP file and for example, attaching it to an e-mail and send it to a friend, you might want to considerably reduce its size (the ZIP file, not the friend) by doing:
del /s *.pch *.pdb *.ncb *.sbr *.obj *.idb *.ilk
Al those are product of the built so no need to fill your friend Inbox...
I did not include the *.EXE or *.DLL as those could be dependencies.
You might want to have a look at Which Visual C++ Files to Add to Source-Code Control.
