Another annoyance

Thanks, Tom! Only you understood what I am ranting about. ...Jim Thompson

It shows as WinZIP _File_ :-( ...Jim Thompson

Ah. Well, you have me there - I've never seen an XP box that didn't do that.

I also agree but my suggestion may help.

Thanks again, Tom! Worked perfectly... ZIP _Folders_ no more ;-) ...Jim Thompson

I don't see this with winrar installed but not winzip, so it might be a winzip feature. Even more likely because the icon is winzip's icon.

Why isn't 'Larkin'sAntiqueCounter.zip' on your website? I like antique counters.

That doesn't work. Tom Biasi nailed it in...

Amazing how Wimpows calls it a "Feature" ;-) ...Jim Thompson

Then it must be a setting in winZip. what version is it?

Cheers

John posted it. I found it, at my advanced age, quite amusing and reminiscent. So I kept a copy. Should it be on _my_ website? If John says OK I'll post it to the SED page. ...Jim Thompson

It did, indeed!! Thanks again! ...Jim Thompson

OLD! Like everything I like... WinZIP v8.1 SR-1 :-) ...Jim Thompson

My pleasure Jim. No charge. Not that I could get anything anyway :-)

Where do you lurk? I could spring for beer or wine if I'm in your location. ...Jim Thompson

You set the attribute of all your .zip files as 'hidden' then under tools - file options set the 'view' as don't show hidden

...thought you'd like that one.

Thanks for the offer but I'm in Jersey.

Jim,

None of the newsgroups you're posting to are ones concerned with your new operating system, or hardware.

There are some issues with products that are back-installed to XP from Win7 or some other original factory-installed OS revs. If your WinZip and WinRar program file associations were not accepted when you installed them, this could be one of the issues, and may require some poking.

Did you instal the WXPpro OS yourself? If not....

Sorry to be nasty, but that's my better half, you'd clearly didn't read the thread.

As for appropriate newsgroups, aren't my posts just as apropos as Larkin's or Slowman's ?:-) ...Jim Thompson

My condolences ;-) I've been known to be on Long Island from time-to-time... in fact it's looking likely again, since I recently showed up the engineering staff of a certain company out there by single-handedly designing all the analog portions of a chip (*) that came up working perfectly... no re-spin required.

Read the thread. Glad it was nailed in, what, 6 hours and ten odd postings? In spite of a non-header.....Must be slow time in the industry. I know it is, here.

I know you used to post to the specific OS or SW group, just wondered why thw change. Lost the address in a machine move?
