Hi,

I see that Vista can unzip archives.

As a matter of interest, which programme does it use to zip/unzip?
files.

Thanks

None (it does not use a separate program) - it is built into Explorer.

I would guess zipfldr.dll located in the system32 folder.

Thank to you both.

Mike. Is this what you meant when you said that unzippings were built
into Explorer (it uses zipfldr.dll in system 32)?

Best wishes

Yes - there is no separate "program" called but the code of perform the
unzip and zip processes is stored in a Dynamic Link Library (DLL) that an
application can call and execute. So Explorer uses this DLL to perform
certain tasks, just a it uses several other ones of the rest of its
functionality.
It is a fine line as to what you consider makes up a program but it's
usually considered to the be sum of the EXE (executable) and all the
associated DLLs that it calls
