      I'll second Bruce's suggestion for 7-zip. I use it all the time and love it. :)

        Sounds probable The problem with WinZip is that it kinda overrides all the built in XP functionality - just install WinZip and the XP stuff should work again :) -- Help me! I'm turning into a grapefruit! Phoenix Paint - back from DPaint's ashes!

                  I have been using IZArc for sometimes now, and had never faced any problems. The interface is really nice.

                    I prefer IZArc too. It gives you the ability to view zipped directory structures when double clicking on the zip file.

                      One 'problem' with RAR is that AV sofrware does not scan inside it... See Here

                      I use WinRAR for everything anyway... it quick and does not have the annoying WinZip 'issue' of when you want to move the window it deciding that means you want to abort. :mad: (Also as I am Win2K user and not a WinXP-er I don't have build-in ZIP file support, not that I would use it anyway... it seem very slow even on a dual processor PC I use at work.
