I've heard of this to be a very good zip-unzip FREE program.It specifies it's use is for Windows Explorer. Will it also work with Firefox which is my default browser. If not, what other zip-unzip program would you recommend for Firefox, preferrably a FREE one.
thanks,Jim
 
I'm not sure I'm following you. Windows Explorer is not the same as Internet Explorer. Windows Explorer allows you to browse your computer and network drives, not the Internet.

Cheers.
 
cmeagan656, Jim probably did mean Internet Explorer, however IE and Windows Explorer share a lot of code (the famed "integration" mentioned in the anti-trust suit.) If you type a URL into the address bar of Windows explorer you will get the web page.

I don't understand why you would be zipping in web browser though? Are you taking about encryption or compression (or both)?

I did just pick up a zip program that supports 32 (I believe it's 32) different formats (.zip, .rar, etc). It is called "QuickZip." It seems to be decent, however one complaint I have is that it didn't extract all of the subfolders, but this might have been my mistake. I've also used PowerArchiver (the latest versions haven't been free though) and I really like it.

I really don't know if I am even talking about the same thing here, just thought I'd say something though.
