Quick Start : Windows Explorer
Integration (Shell Extensions) Please
start Windows Explorer before proceeding with any of the following tasks. Note:
You do not need to run PicoZip before performing any of the following
steps.
In Windows Explorer, you can view information about an archive by simply
positioning you mouse cursor over the archive file for about one second. A small
tooltip window will popup to show you information such as: number of files in
archive, unpacked size, compression ratio and file names of the files in the
archive. This allows you to get an idea of what the archive contains without having to actually open it using PicoZip.
Creating A New Archive 1. In Windows Explorer, select the files which you would like to add to a new archive, then right click them and choose Add to Archive … from the popup context menu. The Add Options dialog box will appear. 2. In the Add Options dialog box, select the folder where you would
like your archive to be created and enter the filename you would like to use
for your new archive. You can also set some of the archive options if desired.
Click the OK button. Click here for
more information on the Add Options dialog box. Your new archive has been created. Extracting Files From An Archive 1. Right click the archive file which you would like to extract, then choose Extract To … from the popup context menu. The Extract dialog box will appear. 2. In the Extract dialog box, select the folder where you want to place the
extracted files and click the Extract button. The files in the archive has been extracted.
Opening An Archive In Windows Explorer, just double click an archive file to open it in PicoZip.
Adding Files to An Archive 1. Select the files you would like to add to an archive, then right click on them. After that, choose Add To Archive … from the popup context menu. The Add Options dialog box will appear. 2. In the Add Options dialog box, choose the archive file which you
would like to add the selected files to, and click the Save button. Another way to add files to an archive while in Windows Explorer is to drag one or more files and drop it on an archive file to add them to the archive.
Other Operations Available from the Context Menu When you right click an archive file, there are several other operations that you can perform on it, such as: scan for virus, convert archive format, test archive, make self-extracting executable file, compress and email archive and repair archive. See the tutorial "Using Windows Shell Integration" for more information.
