Something I should have mentioned and I'm surprised nobody else mentioned: 7zip! "He who controls the stuffing controls the Universe" |

That's because http://www.tugzip.com is way better. |

I just tried that, and I laugh at you. The very first thing I did after installing and setting it up was right click, 'Add to:the.simpsons.s15e01.7z...' and BAM...... explorer crashed. I'll reboot and give it another shot, though... [edit] [edit2] I never knew cab files compressed so well. I wonder why that is... "He who controls the stuffing controls the Universe" |

TugZip has a very awful feature: double click a file to open Tugzip, then drag one of the files from the GUI to a folder; it will first extract the file from the compressed file to the temporary directory, then move it from there to where you dropped it. For a txt file, it is not a biggie, but for a CD ISO file which is inside a DVD ISO... (Edited: A friend installed it at work, and indeed, it is broken. You need to go to the preferences and check one of the options that read something like "grouping all the context menu options". That will create a folder in your contextual menu that, once selected, will show you the options you have. That way the context menu works. Never crashed it at home while using Windows because I use that grouping... I hate having 400px tall menues). -- |

RB: That shouldn't be a big issue. Moving a file from a temporary directory to another directory is done in an instant - you're simply changing information in the filesystem, not actually moving any data. [edit2] "He who controls the stuffing controls the Universe" |

I hope your temp drive is different than your destination folder, because I can move an ISO from anywhere on C to anywhere else instantly. Edit: Beaten by a few posts. |

ML: I would rather remove delete, rename, create shortcut, the winamp stuff, only leave 2 of the 'Add to...' selections, get rid of search and explore.. yeah, that should do it. "He who controls the stuffing controls the Universe" |

Blah, I forgot about perl, cpan and ncftp... you could group them all together, it is as common as tar + gzip. By the way, that is why Menu Editor extension for Firefox is a must for me... I hate so many options. At work, my Start menu has four entries, and the Programs has three (Dev, Tools, Internet). -- |

(excluding things like virus scanners and other 'system' programs)
But in terms of time spent using each one, I think just moving Guild Wars to the top would make it right. ----------- |

What 7-zip were you using?? ----------- |

No, that was tugzip. I like the simplicity of 7zip, but think I might stick with Tugzip for the added features. I just hope I don't run across any more bugs. "He who controls the stuffing controls the Universe" |
