davegee Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 Try this (it might work, it might not):Right click on a ZIPPED Folder and choose PROPERTIES.In GENERAL it should say:Type of File Compressed Zipped Folder (.zip)Opens with Windows ExplorerIf it says something other than Windows Explorer, click on CHANGE and browse for Windows Explorer.Make a note of what it says before you change it so the you can go back to what it was.If Windows Explorer is not available report back.DGAdded.READ THIS:http://www.computeractive.co.uk/ca/pc-help/2181987/the-extract-all-option-for-zip-files-is-missing-from-my-windows-7DG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Yachtsman1 Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 Tried all that with the exception of the registry change, not up for that yet so I will take a rain check for now & look into it when the mist clears. Thanks for trying & proving to the doubting thomas in Australia that it's not just me :huh:/> :huh:/> :huh:/> I'm waving the white flag.Yachtsman1.

davegee Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 Eric,Barry was correct in all that he said regarding "Extract All" and "New Compressed Folder" in Windows Explorer.You were to blame for installing completely unnecessary software.Some will argue that WinZip and others do a better job but they have obviously let you down when sticking with the Windows option has never failed anyone.IT IS YOU!!/>DG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Yachtsman1 Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO it isn't,I didn't install Winzip or any of the other zip programmes on there. When the PC was built I specified that it should have a zip programme, I didn't say which. Where the others came from I haven't a clue, honest. :o/> Are you saying that if I uninstall all the current zip programmes, there is already a windows zip version on my PC. Yachtsman1.BTW if we are to continue this I suggest we move it elsewhere or BB will complain he is getting too much publicity.Yachtsman1.

Barry Beckham Posted December 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 RalphGlad it hit the spot, don't let the zipping debate sidetrack you. Some just have to have difficulties don't they Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sospan Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 Hi Barry,Another excellent show which was viewed with great pleasure. The timing of the transitions with the music was spot on, the quality of the pictures was spot on, in fact everything was spot on...well done.Did not have any problems with unzipping and understanding the folder structure.Ray.

davedare Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 Hi Barry,Great show, like others I thought the quick-fire changes were pretty good, I would never have thought of that (but I probably will in the future!). And so much blue sky too, is that why you moved to Australia so that you would not have to keep changing the British grey sky backgrounds in Photoshop for something more, um, colourful?
