Actually Windows ME has that feature but I'll admit that it wasn't that necessary when WinZip unregistered has no expiration date (that I'm aware of).


Aye, Windows Me had Compressed folders, that diappeared from Win2000 and came back with WinXP.

If you think you will ever be using various Amiga format archives, RARs and other filetypes, I'd have a look at PowerArchiver too - which similarly allows you to keep using it but nags more and more as time goes by.

Duh! I forgot about this one too - 7-Zip, it supports 7z, ZIP, CAB, RAR, ARJ, GZIP, BZIP2, TAR, CPIO, RPM and DEB and it's GPL.

7-Zip

which is also available on The Open CD, a great collection of Open Source goodness for Windows (OpenOffice.org, Mozilla, Filezilla, The GIMP etc. etc.):
