1111544 2010-06-19 06:34:00 I use windows7 64 bit.

How do I make WnZip 12 the default for opening downloaded compressed files?
At present they always download as MS files.

Thanks,
Jack.

1111547 2010-06-19 07:31:00 i would have though that people would use WinRar. that's what i use and its a heap better. well i did use winzip when i had windows 98 but it seems too sluggish. anyways what they say are correct goodiesguy (15316)
1111548 2010-06-19 07:42:00 Well that was probably an OLD version of winzip. Its now up to v14. Things have changed Speedy Gonzales (78)

I find winzip is much better layed-out (compared to winrar). I hate it when people compress files as .7z :mad: whats wrong with .zip?

Personally I use Izarc (http://www.izarc.org/), has a similar interface to the older Winzip (have not used winzip in years so it may have changed). Izarc is free and haven't found anything it wont open.

1111552 2010-06-19 08:58:00 Personally I use the inbuilt zip compression program with XP, Vista & 7. It does everything I want, quickly & easily & is just a right click away. fnphoto (2434)
