do you use. I used to use Winzip on my old computer, but its not free anymore.

Any other alternatives out there that can do the same thing as Winzip?

xp already has a free zipping feature. right click a file and send to -> compressed file (zip)

for unzipping a zipped file, simply double click it, and drag out the files. couldn't get simpler.


if u want to compress to other formats and decrompress em, i highly recommend 7-zip which is totally free and works with majority of file formats out there (except .ace i believe).

This one has the option to create the CAB format compression as well.

Thanks Bilal. I did'nt know windows xp had a zipping feature, that you could unzip zipped files without using file compressing software like winzip or sumthing. Thanks for letting me know :)

7-zip looks good :up:
