Associating WinZip or 7Zip with dropdown menu
Hi all,
I just started using Windows 7 and I'm trying to configure it the same way as I had my old system. One of the things that isn't working is:
I re-installed WinZip (Version 9) and 7Zip. Both these utilities would show up when I right clicked on a file. They would have a sub-menu as well. If I clicked on a zipped file, one of the sub-menu options would be extract all to here.
These options are no longer showing up.
How do I make that happen.
Thanks,
E

I'm trying but it's not happening. the 7zip that runs is an executable (.exe) file. There's no place to set the options. Any other suggestions. Anything you can do in Windows 7 to help this?
when it opens the EXE .. doesn't it show an icon on the taskbar where you can gain access to options from , or even from the start menu .. there has to be a place to configure it from.

Done! Appreciated. Very much.
*Open WinRAR from the start menu entry. If you can’t see WinRAR entry in the start menu, go to C:\Program Files\WinRAR (where “C” is your OS drive), and double-click WinRAR.exe to open WinRAR.
*Switch to “Options” tab and then, open “Settings” option.
*Once again switch to “Integration” tab in the new window.
*Check the option named “Integrate WinRAR into shell” and click ok.
Now you should see the WinRAR entry.
