Using the Explorer Interface

Using WinZip's® Explorer interface, you can access most WinZip functionality directly from Windows Explorer or My Computer shortcut menus, from the Start menu, or from the desktop.

Here is a partial list of the things you can do using WinZip's Explorer interface:

• Create new archives
• Add to existing archives
• Extract files from archives
• E-mail archives
• Encrypt Zip files
• Create self-extracting Zip files

You can do all of these things without opening WinZip itself.
