Maybe he is referring to ZIP files which Windows XP wants to make newcomers believe is just a "compressed folder"? ;)
(Gotta hate it for at least that...)
I have a VB project I downloaded form somewhere but I have absolutely no idea where I got it from, so for now I'll be hosting it on my little server (please bear in mind I have a crap connection - if it doesn't work, try a little later):
Archive Explorer
However, on my system at least, it seems to 'lock' / get stuck in some infinite loop somewhere and never start responding again when it tries to extract a password-protected file (and I give it the password), but I don't remember anyone else complain about that so maybe it's just with me. T_T
What a waste of typing if you're
not talking about zip files, haha....
