    The only zipping tool I've needed or used in a long time.

    To keep only .zip in the context menu (which is a shame by the way!), open 7-Zip, then go to Tools > Options > Plugins > Select 7-Zip and press Options. From there, you will be able to uncheck the .7z extension.

    Hi all.
    As seen over all these posts, 7-Zip is definitely a good software whatever the GUI.

    We decided to deploy it in our company BUT they must use the ZIP extension.

    Does someone know how to set the ZIP extension as default in the context menu just after deploying it ? I mean have only the ZIP extension and remove the .7Z

    I tried to deploy a .reg just after which should point to HKCU\..., but it points to HKU\...

    If someone as the answer, please HELP ME !!!

    Thanks all.

    4 because it still doesn't incorporate multimedia files compression (BMP/WAV/etc) and has no recovery records. Otherwise a great compressor.
