You dont know how to open Zip files? Try Tech-Pro Zip.
Tech-Pro Zip lets you quickly and easily open, view and extract (unzip) files from compressed Zip archives. It can just as easily create Zip archives, too. Unlike many other Zip utilities, Tech-Pro Zip doesnt confuse you with a lot of options youll never need. Its the really easy way to manage with Zip files!
If you didnt already know, the Zip format is the industry standard format for storing files and folders in a single, tightly-compressed archive. Windows XP even has built-in support for Zip archives. If you have Windows XP, then Tech-Pro Zip supplements this built-in support by providing a separate Zip / Unzip application. You can use Tech-Pro Zip instead of Windows XPs Explorer, or as an alternative. We think you may find that Tech-Pro Zip is actually a more convenient way to work with Zip files!
As well as a Zip manager for working with Zip files, Tech-Pro Zip adds options to Windows Explorer context menus enabling you to quickly convert folders to Zip files, and convert Zip files to folders.
Tech-Pro Zip requires the Tech-Pro Utilities Startup package version 1.0.3 or later. This package contains some run-time files that are required by Tech-Pro Zip. Tech-Pro Utilities are donationware - if you like them, please donate a few dollars.

The new version include a boat load of features from a supercharged MP3 Renamer/Tag Editor, enhanced system information like exact IE version, Hard disk info, save or print screenshot, change wallpaper, minimize all and more. Several options are available via right-click menu in your systray.
MP3 Renamer: which takes care of mp3 filename pet peeves & sets a standard for naming them, feature includes full Artist & Song parsing, full mp3 file detailed information & ability to update the ID3 tag.
System Information: If you load the app and click the systray icon, youll see a good snapshot of your system.
Right & Left Click Options: the systray app gives you some shortcuts by right-clicking the systray icon and a ton of options if you left click on the icon. New in 2.1 Beside shutting down, restarting and logging off this new version now lets you Lock Your Workstation, go on Standby or Hibernate!!!
Tweaks/Hacks: There are also several "MR Tech Approved" tweaks/hacks that will have your computer humming like: Enable RegEdit Access, Disable Login Messages, Display Login Name, Increase Icon Resolution and a lot more. This feature isnt meant to replace the hundred other tweak utilities out there, its just meant to reestablish the most annoying ones everytime you long in, like Clearing Login, Login Messages, etc.
Command Line Options:
- temp : clears windows temp directory
- sys : clears tmp files from windows system directories
- iecache : clears ie cache
- nscache : clears netscape cache
- restart : restarts windows (be careful with this one)
- shutdown : shuts down windows (be careful with this one)
- lock : lock workstation
- hibernate : activates hibernation
- exit (closes app after running other command line parameters)
- Microsoft IE Multi-Threaded Tweak: by default the standard # of multiple downloads or threads that the browser will make to the server is 4 non proxy and 2 via proxy.
If you have the bandwidth and memory, kicking this up will force more threads to be able to download more at the same time. Even though threads are reused and not reestablished, having more of them does speed things up if you have the bandwidth.
On a system with 128megs of memory Ive yet to experience any problems with having this at 32 threads. This will only get used if you are download several pages at the same time or if a page has A LOT of graphics, etc.
Manual & Scheduled Cleanups: The old cleanup features are being enhanced and super charged to allow you to clear your Netscape Navigator and/or MS Internet Explorer caches and the Windows temp folder -- plus delete lost fragments, cookies, and history files. Ive just recently added cleanup scheduling, check it out!
You must disable the prompts in order to remove the messages that popup, you can do this by, unchecking the "Always Show Delete Prompts" from the tweaks menu.
MR Tech Log: I was having problems with my power supply so I added this so that the log would tell me how many times the computer was restarted. By reading the file you can see whether the computer was proper shutdown or not. Ive also added the user logged in and how much space was recovered with deleting the Temp & System Directory temp files.
File Lister: I wanted a quick way of listing files into a text files so I added this little ditty.
Sort List: I was just getting tired of loading Excel to sort a small list of lines so I added this.
Application Launch for AOL, Yahoo, Netscape, Mozilla and Opera Updated in 2.1
Quick Links: You also get links to Control Panel and many of its shortcuts, launch pad for RegEdit, SysEdit, WordPad, Notepad, and other common Windows modules.
Save Snapshot: Lets you save your current system settings to a file.
Super Optimized: Applied several optimization techniques and changed compile method to reduce program size by 37%, added a Memory Optimization technique that I had been contemplating and the program now uses up to 90+% less active memory under Windows NT/2000. That and Ive removed any old unused variables, functions and subroutines.
