Upgrading my cpu speed zip files in Windows 7
I currently have an i3-2100 (Socket 1155). I compress TIFF files (137 MB each) in records of 15 or more. It takes forever. I checked my use of RAM and it runs around 37% while the zip compression and listen to trance music streaming from Youtube at the same time (from 4 MB of RAM installed) to get more RAM doesn't seem to be the solution.
Would a processor "more powerful" speed things, hopefully much (stay with Socket 1155)? Or is program of internal compression of W7 (what I want to continue to use it as people who receive my files zipped using Windows Explorer to decompress files) just by nature dog slow and isn't really dependent on cpu? You know, it is what it is.
So far no response. If anyone has a suggestion for another forum post this question please let me know.
Asked me to come back and "finish my thread. Well, no answers here, so I asked on a photography forum and it has been suggested, I have try 7 - Zip. This free program, in fact, compressed files JPEG and TIFF in about 1/20th, time to spend it as a Windows Flash program to accomplish its task.
I also learned that seamer works better on text files and not so much on image files. Indeed, a compressed jpeg file is about the same size as the original file. A compressed tiff file password 137 mb 125 MB so some, but not much. Why it takes so darn long comes mainly from transfer images JPEG in a different folder Windows is beyond me. I assume that 7-Zip goes account that it does nothing more than to transfer them on and done it gets about as fast I could rename the original folder.
Minimally, TIFF, 7-Zip compresses and gets it done almost immediately. Windows takes 30 minutes or more.
Discussion was going and came on whether or not would help more RAM. The consensus is that it is not useful. What helped was to use 7 - Zip.
I also tried to pass like a Flash on a different computer on W7, I (an older i5 which has a four true cores) and it was slower in the Windows program as this computer. This computer has an i3-2100, but has hyperthreading. Given that 7-Zip can use hyperthreading maybe thats why it is so much faster. Who knows.

Cannot create a zip file in Windows 8
For some reason, I don't have the ability to send files in a folder compressed (by right-clicking on the file and then using the menu 'sent' to a compressed file. Also, the icon zip under the sharing tab in the file browser is grayed out, so I can't create the file zip file that way either. Is there a setting I need to change back to the possibility of creating a zip file in Windows 8? I downloaded and am currently using a 3rd zip application part as a replacement for Win zip 8, but wonder why it is no longer available. I'd appreciate any help!
Great news. Please check.

Password protect Zip files in Windows Vista 64-bit
Hello
Windows Vista Ultimate allows me to send files to a compressed folder. I read several answers elsewhere that you can then open the folder and select "File--> Add a password...". "to add a password. However, I can't find it.
Can anyone help?

Hello
The ability to natively password - protect a zipped file was removed from Vista and Windows 7.
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/can-I-protect-files-or-folders-with-a-password
If you want to protect a zipped file, you will need to get third-party compression software that supports this.
Note: Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

I can longer open zip files in windows 7
Hello
Recently, I downloaded a zip file and when I right click on it I don't have an option to extract everything. Instead, I got an option 'open with '. It was the "Windows cannot open this file:I used the utility zip several times. All of a sudden it will not work.
I went to default programs to try to re - associate the zip with the files. At the location of zip into the folder, the associated program was unknown.
That's happened? How can I fix it? Why windows updates do not resolve these problems?

Question: Can't create ZIP files in Windows 7 Home Premium
So, basically, here's the deal. Whenever I try to make/create a file ZIP containing separate files or even containing a single file, I get an error message.
"Could not complete the operation. Access is denied. "
I am the administrator and I should have complete and total control right? I need to create folders zip for the work, but the only way I can do right now is with WinRAR, which works very well, but I don't want to pay $40 more for something that I should be able to do that through Windows.
Anyone have thoughts or ideas on why I can't make ZIP (compressed) files?
Help!
in regards to the third task... There is no merge option when you right click on it from the desktop.
I guess only he saved for you with the .txt extension. Just rename the .reg file, but...
On the previous message and the 2nd task, try this:
- Press the Windows key + R > type regedit and press enter
- Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.zip\OpenWithProgids
- In the right pane: right-click on the WinRAR.ZIP > delete
- You can also check these two keys:
- HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.zip\OpenWithProgids (there should be only (default) and CompressedFolder )
- HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.zip\UserChoice (this should not exist)
- Close the registry editor and restart your system.

How to open the files transferred from one computer to another computer using hardrive external. The
host computer contains windows 7 wps writer and destination 10 windows computer. The files are zip compressed files.
Essentially, just drag the files from the external hard drive to your new desktop computer (or another folder) and double-click it to open the file.
Don't forget, you must install the program that reads that kind of file. If it's a RAR compressed file, for example, your new computer will not have software to open it again. You will need to go download the compression program to open it first.

To password protect a zip file in Windows 7
OK, so we have Windows 7 after using XP. But now we have a big problem. I can't password protect all files zip or open them. Google seems to find no answer if anyone can tell me how I can do this. Now, if I can't create/open, then we have a serious problem. Can someone tell me why this has been deleted if it were.
7-zip is free software and work to password protect, however if the file is transferred to another computer, that computer must have 7 zip installed to open it.
Another option is that Windows 7 Professional and ultimate edition have the option to use Windows XP Mode, which should enable the password protection. I don't know if the recipient (if the file is intended for email) / other computer should open in the same mode of Windows XP.
I could be wrong, but I tried to create an archive of password protected using 7 - zip and selecting the format of "zip" archive Once that the archive was created I closed my 7 - zip and then open the archive and entered my password using Windows Explorer.
Everything worked OK, so presumably you can open an archive on another PC that does not have installed 7 - zip, as long as you created archive using "zip" as the format.

Is a program to open zip included in Windows Vista or Microsoft Office files?
Try to open a zip file and Windows Vista can't seem to accomplish. Also have Microsoft Office. Is there a file that automatically opens zip files in any of the two? How to open a zip file?
It is included with Vista, but is called decompression/compression instead of compression/decompression.
Here's briefly how to do it:http://www.ehow.com/how_4963978_open-zip-files-vista.html.
If it doesn't, the Zip file associations have been lost somehow and must be repaired (I'm not sure what caused it - maybe some setting inadvertently or the hidden keyboard command).
Here is a link to how to restore Vista zip file association: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/65254-zip-file-support-restore.html this should restore for compressed files zip file association and hopefully remove of open file (but which may take another measure).
Here is another link on how to enable and disable the files compressed in Vista: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/93827-zip-file-compressed-folders.html.
Here is a link on how to restore default binding settings in Vista: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/233243-default-file-type-associations-restore.html. This should also restore default associations of open files that include no zip.
Between these three links, you should be able to restore files zip compressed file association and not with open files - indeed, return things to their default settings.
Here are some additional links that may be useful if the three above do not resolve the problem:http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/91920-unassociate-file-extention-type.html,http://www.mydigitallife.info/2008/06/22/restore-and-reset-file-association-in-windows-vista-back-to-original-default/,http://www.mydigitallife.info/2008/06/22/reset-and-fix-broken-windows-vista-file-ext-and-type-associations-include-exe-com-sys-zip-lnk-folder-drive/and http://www.winhelponline.com/articles/105/1/File-association-fixes-for-Windows-Vista.html.
