And then if I unzip this file onto another PC that has sonar it should auto align my tracks in sonar as a bundle would?

I jus zipped the cwp file and then unzipped on another PC and still not working. Am I supposed to be zipping something else?

That is correct. The track, wave positions and midi info are all stored in the cwp. All the bundle process does is create a single file starting with the cwp and appending the wave files to it. There is nothing special about a bundle except that it is particularly fragile.

The cwp is not the project folder, you need to compress the entire folder that contains the cwp and the audio folder. The cwp only contains information about the project such as track layout, midi data, plug-in settings and audio file names. For example, if a project was created called Mysong it would create a directory called MySong which contains the MySong.cwp and a folder called Audio. To create a single file from the MySong project, zip up the MySong directory.

I will try this when I get home. All of my CWP files though go into a single folder therefore ALL the projects I've created are in the same "Project Folder". If I compress the folder that holds the CWP file i'm trying to get it'll also compress the rest of my CWP files from previous projects. Do I need to be saving this CWP including my audio folder in a separate folder from the rest of my projects before I zip it up?

Yes, unless you want to zip up all the other stuff too.
 
FWIW, I have every project in a unique folder under "Cakewalk Projects". A project folder can contain several versions of the same project but I never have different projects mingled in the same folder. The "Save As" function the "Copy All Audio with Project" enabled can create a new folder with only the cwp file and it's associated audio saved to it. That new folder would be the one to zip up.
