Question : Right Click Menu

D

D&C

HI , using Windows XP Home ; in the right click menu you have have an option " EXTRACT ALL" when unzipping a program . However i was working on a machine that had XP Pro on it & there was no Extract All option  in the right click menu for unzipping a program . Can anyone tell me if this is the way XP Pro works or is there some way to get "Extract All" in the right click menu .
Tks

WinZip or another third party zip program installed?

From XP HELP:
[[To extract files from a zipped compressed folder
Open My Computer, and then locate the compressed folder.
Do one of the following:
To extract a single file or folder, double-click the compressed folder to
open it. Then, drag the file or folder from the compressed folder to a new
location.
To extract all files or folders, right-click the compressed folder, and then
click Extract All. In the Compressed (zipped) Folders Extraction Wizard,
specify where you want to store the extracted files.
Notes
To open My Computer, double-click the My Computer icon on the desktop.
You can identify compressed folders by the zipper on the folder icon.
If the file is protected with a password, you must provide the password
before the file can be extracted to the folder you specify.
When you extract a file, a compressed version remains in the compressed
folder. To delete the compressed version, right-click the file, and then
click Delete.
When you extract a file from a compressed folder that is password protected,
the extracted file is no longer protected.]]

Some 3rd party ZIP programs break the built-in associations for ZIP files. Click Start, Run and enter REGSVR32 ZIPFLDR.DLL to restore the built in association and context menu item.
