Program Locations Tab

You can configure the settings below by clicking on the Program Locations tab in the Configuration dialog box.


File Viewer

The settings in this section allows you to configure which program to use to view the files in an archive. You can choose from the following options:

· Use associated program : Always open the file you select using its associated program.

· Use external viewer : Always open the file you selected using the external viewer that you specified in the "Location of your external viewer" setting.

· Use external viewer if no associated program : Open the file you selected using the external viewer only if there is associated program for the file.

· Ask me : When you try to view a file, PicoZip will popup a dialog box to ask you whether to use its associated program or the external viewer.

Location of your external viewer : Full path to the program you would like to use as an external viewer. This setting must contain a valid program if you selected any setting above other than "Use associated program".

Virus Scanner

Product : If you have no antivirus software installed, select None and skip the rest of the options on this tab. Otherwise, select your antivirus software from the list. If your antivirus software is not in the list, select Custom.

Location of your antivirus software : If you selected a setting other than None or Custom in the previous setting, the filename for your selected antivirus software would be automatically filled in. However, you still need to click on the browse button to locate the directory where this file is located.

Parameters : If you selected a setting other than None or Custom in the Product setting, the default parameters automatically filled in by PicoZip should work just fine. If you selected Custom in the product setting, you should enter the necessary parameters to run the virus scanner you entered in the previous setting.

The special character that you can use in this field is *.*. PicoZip automatically replaces *.* with the actual path to the files that needs to be scanned so that your virus scanner can find them.. For example, if the parameter you entered is :

/s *.*

PicoZip will change it to:

/s C:\Temp\Test\*.*

Assuming "C:\Temp\Test" is the temporary directory where PicoZip placed the extracted files.

If no parameter is entered, PicoZip will append a list of all filenames that needs to be scanned as the parameter.
