| | Associate unzip file attribute in Vista When I fist installed Vista - a few days ago - when I open a zip file, a Windows default program would open the zip file. After I installed a program called Quickzip, this program will be opened whenever I double-click on a zip file. I tried to associate the zip file with the Windows default zip utility, the question is, where is it? What is its name? Thanx in advance L & L |

| | Re: Associate unzip file attribute in Vista Thanx for replying. Yes, I still like to use QuickZip, which is very handy for unzipping multiple zip archives. But QuickZip becomes a hassle (not a time saver) when the zip file I try to unzip contain in a folder. Quickzip doesn't facilitate folder unzipping. I sometimes need to unzip 30-50 files at a time. For a zip archive that contain a folder, the Windows default utility is a better option. So i need both. You see my dilenma. The best solution is probably a unzip utility that can extract file from a zipped folder. Know any such utility?

| Vista x64 Ultimate SP2, Windows 7 Ultimate x64 | Re: Associate unzip file attribute in Vista Hi L & L, 7-Zip is a great free program to use. You might give it a try. 7-Zip If you still want to, these tutorials will show you how to restore the default ZIP features from Vista. Zip File Compressed Folders and http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/65...ile-vista.html Hope this helps, Shawn  Quote: Originally Posted by LiveAndLearn  Thanx for replying.

| | Re: Associate unzip file attribute in Vista Thanx 4 replying. That was my original question. Where's the Windows zip utility? I just can't find it. I know it's there, otherwise Vista wouldn't able to unzip my zip file in the first place (before I installed Quickzip). Cheers, L&L P.S. not .rar file (not that it matters to the question) "locoeng" wrote: Quote: > > Right click on one of your .rar files and go to Open with...browse to > the Windows zip utility and tick the box reading "set default program". > > > -- > locoeng > > vista ultimate 32/64 bit dual boot > gigabyte ep35 ds3r/xfx geforce 8600gt/corsair 520hx > g.skill ddr ii 800 x2 gigs > seagate 120gb (ide) x2/wd 750 (sata) > samsung sh203b sbo3 patched codeking > pioneer 215l patched mcse > nec/optiarc 7200s 1.06bt liggy&dee > lite-on 20a1l bl06 -fb fbl eos eoht 6- > |
