Where is winzip located ? For some reason my XP is using UZ ( ultraZip ? ) to unzip almost any zip I download and I don't know how my system even got UZ. How do I make my system use Winzip as the default ? |

Try http://www.winzip.com/ after you d/l it you s/b ok. UZ may be the same thing. XP comes w/an unzip program as part of the OS. I didn't know that when I d/l'ed Winzip. It was just I had been using it for yrs. "Allen" <Allen@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:2DEA0C43-5C06-49F3-812C-353100716015@microsoft.com... > Where is winzip located ?

You need to uninstall the UZ program first, then install Winzip.

Winzip is located wherever you installed it. It's not a native tool in XP. XP does have a built in ZIP facility, though. -- Rock MS MVP Windows - Shell/User |

It sounds like Ultra Zip stole Winzip's file associations. One easy way to get them back would be to install winzip again. |

Just start Winzip and go into Options/Configuration/System Check the box for Winzip to be associated with archives. |
