can not extract from a compresed file
I have followed the advice in the help section and have no problem compressing a file but when I right click on the mouse whilst over a compressed file there is no " extract" or "extract all" shown. Is there something wrong with the software or am I missing something. I am using Widows 7 and I dont have any other ZIP software on the computer.

Greetings, I would like to confirm if you want to extract the compressed file that created by zip handler (right-click-> Send to -> Compressed folder). For .zip files, your problem may happens if the program association for zip type files is changed or corrupted. Try the following steps to repair: 1. Open the Start Menu 2. Click All Programs 3. Expand Accessories 4. Right Click Command Prompt ,click Run as Administrator If Windows 7 will ask you if you were sure that you wanted to open the command prompt as an administrator, click yes. 5. Now from there input: cmd /c assoc .zip=CompressedFolder Hope it will help you!PS: As for other Compressed files like RAR, you can try 7-Zip to compress/extract files: http://www.7-zip.org/
