Give it a go Penny. I can't remember if I had to do something special to get it added to the right click menu once it was installed, so let me know if it doesn't show up and I will try to rack my brain. I think I am really remembering trying to figure out why the unzip didn't work like in XP before I found and installed 7-Zip, but now I am not sure. But it does work perfectly now.

I guess the presence of the extract option when you right click on a zipped file is different between various versions of Vista. DW has Vista home premium on her relatively new laptop and it works the same as XP.

THANK YOU , kathleen. DOES EVERYONE HAVE TO LOG IN NOW when they want to reply to anything? I'm off to try what you suggested.

It installed perfectly and shows up on the right click. When I have a marathon buying spree in the store, this is going to be great!

My laptop is Vista 64-bit, and I seem to recall that was the issue with what I was used to being "standard" functionality.

Barbara, let me know if you have questions. You shouldn't have to log in every time if it is a persistent problem (and a change in behavior), you might have a look at this post: Cant stay logged in
