This isn't directly XP, but a program I have running in xp pro and I am
hoping that some of you can suggest how to overcome this delima. What I have
here is that a third party backup program I use gives me the option to back
up straight forward or to zip my files. When it zips them, it saves the
folder structure in the zip. Well I had to redo some things on my computer
and restored some of these backups and now, I have a ton of folders that are
all zipped. Meaning that, if I go to something on my D: drive a few folders
down (as an example "Dhotos/June/Rafting/Fun/photo1.jpg") that now, the
restored folders/files no have that same path, but rather than the example
file as shown, it is "photo1.zip" and if I were to unzip that file, it
upzips to the entire folder heiarchy. This would be a simple fix if it were
only a couple of files/folders, but in my case, we are talking about
hundreds of files and folders. So now, I am hoping so of you can offer
suggestions on how to fix this using xp internal aids or maybe something
third party? Thought of a program called multiziplicity, but not sure that
it would work properly. Any ideas are very much appreciated. In the future,
I think I will think twice before compression of such things.
