windows zip

I used a zip program to unzip some rar files. I removed it. Now I don't have
any zip programs for windows. The one that is in windows isn't in the list
any more. How do I get it back on the list. The list I am referring to is
when you right click in a folder it shows the options of new folder and zip
and brief case.
Also I can't restore to a earlier date.

Hi Susi,

This tutorial will show you how to get the built in Zip for Vista back.

http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/65...ile-vista.html

You might consider this great free Zip program called "7-Zip". It
works great with Vista 32 or 64 bit. After you install it, click on
Tools -> Options to select what file extensions you want 7-Zip to open.


'7-Zip' (http://www.7-zip.org/)
