    Problem in opening compressed folders

    Hi All!

    winzip probably has taken over the file association.

    Check Control Panel | Folder Options | File Types

    Also: just curious: with winzip in place why are you wanting the XP extractor?

    Do you still have WinZip installed?

    Will WinZip still work?

    If WinZip is installed but not working you probably need to remove it.

    If you right click a .zip file does it offer the choice to: Open With?

    Also an alternative to WinZip & XP is this freeware program:
