Ultimate zip does it, open source too so you'll get it free.

You'll get it on google

Um, Windows has Zip control built in And WinRAR, as said, is a free 30 day trial. However, my free 30 day trial has been going on now for 4 years and is still working fine - and no, I haven't cracked it. It works fine, and the only thing I get is a pop up when I use it saying I should click continue to buy the full version - which seems pointless as i have all the features I need

You'll probably have to uninstall the program you installed (the one your trial has expired from) first as that might have superceeded Windows control (I know WinRAR does)

After that you should just have to right click on the ZIP file and choose the option, or probably just double click on it and choose the option (I can't exactly remember as it's been so long since I used Windows ZIP control as I use WinRAR)

If you want, download WinRAR here http://download.cnet.com/WinRAR-32-b...-10007677.html and even tho it says 40day trial, it'll probably continue working like mine has for the past 4 years
