Extracting ZIP files and archives from Windows Explorer

This is by far the easiest way to extract files from ZIP files and archives. Simply right-click on a ZIP, archive, or selection of ZIP/archive files to display the ALZip context menu items and then choose one of the Extract options.

1. Right-click on the desired ZIP or archives in Windows Explorer.

2. Choose the appropriate context menu item. For more information, refer to Context menus.

Tip: If a password is set for the archive, you will be prompted to type it into the Password dialog box.

3. ALZip extracts the files and displays the ALZip progress dialog box.

NOTE: ALZip also offers a special way to automatically extract archives by double-clicking on them. Click here for more information on extracting files or get more information on setting double-click preferences here.
