Quote from: pierre_pierre Win XP seems to have a working unzip built in - works OK for me

Edit: It will also co-exist quite happily with Winzip so for anyone using a version of Winzip of dubious legality I'd suggest giving 7-zip a go. It also does far more than Winzip:
# High compression ratio in new 7z format with LZMA compression
# Supported formats:
* Packing / unpacking: 7z, ZIP, GZIP, BZIP2 and TAR
* Unpacking only: RAR, CAB, ISO, ARJ, LZH, CHM, MSI, WIM, Z, CPIO, RPM, DEB and NSIS
# For ZIP and GZIP formats, 7-Zip provides a compression ratio that is 2-10 % better than the ratio provided by PKZip and WinZip
# Strong AES-256 encryption in 7z and ZIP formats
# Self-extracting capability for 7z format

On our other laptop the zip file system is the Windows Vista one (which I prefer). If the Windows one is on my computer, could anyone say where it might be found. If not, is it possible to transfer the file from the other laptop and if so, again, where is it?
(Sorry to hijack this thread but this has been bugging me for ages).

Found this one which is much safer
Taken from here http://forums.techarena.in/showthread.php?t=677773
Quote "Start menu
Type "command" in the search box
Then right click on "Command Prompt" as is now shown above in the menu
and select "Run as Administrator"
In the command window type
assoc .zip=CompressedFolder
That will restore .zip files to their original Windows Explorer
associations."

It's good to have the Windows version back and I can now ditch WinRAR and it's annoying popup (I also find it unnecessarily complicated).
It has been bugging me for ages - am very grateful for your time.
