Unzipping files

[kwykoff]

I have downloaded a large update for my photo imaging
program. When I start to open the zipped program, it
automatically begins unzipping and saving in C: as it's
own folder. I want it in Crogram files, but it won't
give me the chance to browse for the folder I want in
opened into. The 'unzip' button is grayed--it just
starts unzipping on its own. Is there a way to make it
wait until I chose a folder to open into?
Thanks,
Kaye

Move the zip file into the folder you want it in before
you unzip it...

Or, get a full zip/unzip utility like Winzip, which gives you the ability to
customize in many ways, integrate with your browser, zip files into an .exe
file to email and unzip into a particular folder automatically when the
recipient receives and then double clicks it, select all or some of the
files to be unzipped into whichever folder you select (or you can type the
name of a folder or subfolder that doesn't exist yet and WinZip will create
that folder and unzip the files into it), scan for viruses that might be
included in any of the files in the zip file, select files in My Computer or
Windows Explorer right click them to zip and email them, and much more. The
Windows zip utility is barebones, plus I don't like the way it shows zip
files as folders. WinZip is superior. You can download a 21 day evaluation
version at:

You can use it forever for free.

What kind of advice is this? The developers of WinZip work hard to create a
useful program and they deserve to be compensated for it. How 'bout if I used
you free after the "one-night-stand" evaluation? Nah...I bet the nag screens
would be overwhelming and I'd end up paying for it!

Excuse me for believing that software developers should be compensated for
their hard work. You can do whatever your conscience(or lack thereof) allows
you to do. I just feel it's out of place to encourage others to follow along
with your flexible ethics. That's what I'm on about.
