374788 2005-07-24 05:29:00 does anyone know if it is possible to use ctrl+C to copy files from a .zip when using xp's built zip in utility? Right click/copy works fine, just not the keyboard shortcut (works normally everywhere else though) Kindel (6640)
374789 2005-07-24 06:31:00 As far as I know it's disabled, probably because its not always a "good idea" to copy the files in the manner you suggest under every circumstance.

The XP built-in extractor shows you the files that would be extracted, but until they are actually extracted to a folder, I think there are some circumstances/file types that could be incorrect/incomplete if you copy them in that manner from that listing. Even if right-click allows it.
