Can't find WinZIP after WinRAR download
I downloaded a free trial of Win RAR, but now am being told I need to subscribe. I would like to return to using WinZIP, but cannot find it on my compute any longer. Did WinRAR remove it?

WinRAR does *not* remove WinZip. I've tried using both myself and I personally vouch that is not the case.
That said, my personal recommendation is that you delete both of them (My computer - Add or remove programs on the left side and remove both of them) and just install 7-zip.

Just pick 32-bit and install that. It should be able to do what Winzip and WinRAR do combined, and it's completely free - no ads, registration dates, anything.

Try to find it by searching for "winzip" your computer. Probably it is in your "Program files' folder.
Also you can try to uninstall WinRAR, this may restore wour winzip settings.
