| 227942 | 2004-04-07 13:43:00 | First - A zip file opens like a normal folder. Can I get it, so that when you double click on a zip file, it opens in a new window? Second. More important than first - Image folders. The special view that XP gives an image folder, allowing you to see the images in a kind of slide show view. Well, when I double click on these, they open up in Windows Pictures and Fax viewer, NOT my default image editing program, GIMP, that is set to open these. How do I keep the image folder look, but have it open in GIMP? Thanks a Munch |

Perhaps you might want to try more advanced compression programs like WinRAR, rather than the limited XP default. > Second. More important than first - Image folders.

How do I keep the image folder look, but have it open in GIMP? Easy way: Right click on the file - > open with - > choose or search for your program - > tick always use this program - > apply. Harder way: in any folder - > view - > folder options - > view tab - > and change the file extension in there to open with the gimp. |

In Windows Explorer, go to Tools Folder Options Under Browser Options, select 'Open each folder in its own window' Once you extract the contents to a new folder, it opens it in a new window anyway if you select display contents of folder. Personally I like the way you can peek into zipped files with XP, handy for checking out the read me files first before extracting. J :D |
