Download apps keep opening in winzip

There's an interesting feature in CAM UnZip where the program can be configured to automatically run a "setup. This can greatly speed things up if you'll be extracting lots of setup files. During install, you're given the option to install CAM UnZip as a portable program that can be launched from a removable drive, or, of course, as a regular one that runs from your computer.

Zipeg doesn't allow the creation of new archives, but it handles unzipping files just fine. When the program first opens, you get to choose which file extensions you want to be associated with the program so that you can be sure that Zipeg is the one that opens all of your archives.

One particular feature worth noting is the option to automatically open nested archives, meaning that Zipeg will open archives stored within the archive , automatically. While this isn't very common, it is helpful when you run into an archive like that. While there isn't support for showing Zipeg in the right-click context menu, which makes unzipping files really easy, Zipeg does support drag and drop into its program window.

Download Zipeg. Unzip-Online is an online archive file decompressor. You can't download all the files at once, which is unfortunate, so you must select each file individually to download. Also, password-protected files can't be extracted with Unzip-Online. There is a max upload size limit of MB per file, which is probably just fine for most archives. Visit Unzip-Online. Read our review Unzip-Online.

There really isn't anything to this program except the initial screen, which lets you load a RAR file and choose where it should be extracted. Just select Extract to get the files. Zipper is another free archive decompressor that can open and create ZIP files. The interface isn't nearly as easy to use as the other programs in this list, there isn't a Windows Explorer integration setting, and it takes longer than it should to create your own ZIP file because you must use the built-in file explorer to select data.

Given the other programs in this list, Zipper really shouldn't be your preferred choice for a file unzipper. However, it is a working option and can do the job correctly, even if it's not the easiest to use or the most appealing program. Download Zipper. The program is easy to use because it can be integrated with the right-click context menu in Windows. You can use this menu to quickly open or extract any of the supported unpacking formats. Download IZArc. Another free archive extractor and compressor for Windows only is ZipGenius.

Several formats are supported with ZipGenius, for both creating and extracting archives. You can password-protect new archives, automatically exclude particular file types when compressing files, and even split an archive into several smaller parts for easier web sharing or storage.

When extracting an archive with ZipGenius, you can set up an antivirus program to automatically scan the results to ensure you're not opening an infected archive. ZipGenius also supports converting an archive to the ZIP format to easily change the file type to this popular one. There's also an option in the settings to set the priority of ZipGenius to control how many system resources can be allocated to it when compressing and decompressing files.

Download ZipGenius. When creating a new ZIP file, File Zip Wizard doesn't allow adding whole folders to the archive, but you can select more than one file at a time, which is helpful. It's really easy to choose how much compression you wish to apply to the ZIP file with a slider setting — you can choose anywhere from no compression to maximum compression.

Something you might not like about Free Zip Wizard is that it shows an advertisement every time you close the program. Download Free Zip Wizard. TUGZip is a free archive decompressor that integrates with Windows, making extracting archives much faster. Like many other programs in this list, TUGZip can make self-extracting archives, but it also lets you add custom commands that run after the extraction completes. You can add an installed virus scanner to the TUGZip settings to have it scan extracted files automatically, which is great to prevent a malicious file from an archive from infecting your computer.

When doing incremental backing up, does CS overwrite old versions of the files or does it keep older versions, so that one can roll back changes? From my small test it appears that the former is true -- i. CS's "incremental" backup really just updates the full backup each time. Is that right? Comment by Michael Post reply. I believe I have found a bug in the program's behavior. Here is an example. I check my entire "Users" folder under Windows 7 to back up all users data and automatically back up all data from any new users that are created in the future.

I leave every subfolder checked. I then go under one user's folder and un-check his "Videos" folder because he uses it for scratch files which are too big and don't need to be backed-up. Un-checking this folder causes newly created users folders NOT to be backed-up, regardless that the base "Users" folder is checked! I have tried other examples, too. Any time you un-check a folder, if any new folders are created one directory level above, they will not be backed-up, even if the base folder is checked!

How can I work around this? Am I doing something wrong? Thank you so much! Comment by Pier Post reply. Comment by George Post reply. Comment by Gilberto Post reply. Reply by Create Software Post reply. Comment by Dave Post reply. Good little program. Ideal for creating thumb drives of my music library for the car. Would be nice to see it have the ability to add the Label of the thumb drive to the project and verify the thumb drive by label.

Works well with out though at times I'm an idiot so I'm thinking of how to "Dave" proof it! Hi Dave! Comment by Mark Post reply. Hi, it would be good if there was a way to exclude folders in the exclude list. For example I have a profile to backup my VS project but don't need the Bin sub-folders backed up. Hi Mark! Comment by Jorge Post reply. Thanks for this wonderful piece of Soft. It really gives me peace of mind for sync purposes.

Just wonder: could its windows remember the position where I moved them to? It is cumbersome having to set them around every time I open each. Comment by Kida Post reply. Wonderful program. Only thing that currently bugs me is using "Discard after:2" and "Replicate Empty Directories:False". This still creates the entire directory structure in the mirror directory; even if that directory had no modified files in the last 2 days.

Would be super helpful if empty folders in the mirror are deleted during the 'clean-up' process when "Replicate Empty Directories:False" is set to false. Hi Kida, Well spotted, that was a bug. It should be fixed in the latest development builds Latest builds. Comment by Roman Post reply. You can do the directories synchronized by date.

For example. Selected folder, but not later than Reply by mithun Post reply. Comment by Olly Post reply. Brilliant programme! I have searched for ages to find a programme like this.

Love the fact that this programme gives you tray notifications which is just what I wanted unlike other software that left me in the dark about my backups. One of the best sync software I have used, Nothing but praise for this programme!

I have recommended it to so many people. Thanks so much! Comment by Shahrukh Post reply. Geoffrey requested "It would be nice to be able to include files that have changed within, say, the last x days in the backup procedure, i. That was just what I needed, except I need to be able to specify "Ignore files last modified earlier than yyyy-mm-dd" i. The reason is that I do disk clones every 3 months or so and want to use Synchronicity to do daily incremental backups since the last disk clone.

Great sync software, simple interface, very fast,seams reliable, free. Comment by Genevieve Post reply. Thank you so much for the fantastic software. It's so kind of you to share it with everyone. Love it! Comment by Vineeth Reddy Post reply. Thank you for your efforts.

Comment by Bogdan Post reply. This tool corresponds with software bible best practice: simple clear idea, robust tool, performs tasks corresponding with its concept very well and makes no other unnecessary tasks.

I am very satisfied! Thanks for great tool, which helps me so much! Comment by Harvey Post reply. The best tool out there for keeping two drives in sync, easy to use but powerful. Comment by Prakash Kumar Jain Post reply. A good tool to take backup. I had earlier tried the Seagate software that comes with the portable harddrive but it was not working as good as CS.

Comment by Takku Post reply. Thanks for a nifty utility! Looks great and works great! Just a tip for others who may have a similar setup: I had initial problems syncing from my Vista PC to my Linux server over Samba, as CS was pretty aggressive in selecting a lot of files for backing up that hadn't been modified.

I unchecked the exact timing checkbox, allowing for a few second variation in timestamps and voila, problem solved. Great product, thanks! Comment by K. Lenover Post reply. Comment by sultan Post reply.

Been using Create Synchronicity for a while now to backup multiple desktop computers in my house to one network backup drive. I have had absolutely no problems with it at all. Thanks for a great product. I even discussed using it in today's episode of my podcast.

I don't want to be a "spammer" here so if you're interested in my podcast episode, it can be found at the domain in my email. Thanks again! Thanks a lot! For other readers, the podcast is here. I've also tweeted about it. Comment by vsg Post reply. There is a bug. It does not work correctly when file names have a dot at the end. Please, fix it. Comment by Marco77 Post reply. Hello guys, Regarding your statement below "normally, Create Synchronicity doesn't follow symbolic links.

Comment by Rix Post reply. Very good app - thank you. I have some observations as follows: Show question 1 CS ignores my TrueCrypt files because their attributes never change. This could be obviated by having an checkbox option under Settings to "always overwrite" 2 I currently have 7 profiles. I get the dropdown irrespective of whether I right-click or left-click. As a result the dropdown obscures the settings panel at the bottom. Could I please suggest you make the pulldown active on right-click only?

Left-click could be used just to select the profile and hence view the settings. Thank you for a great program and for giving us the opportunity to offer feedback. Hi Rix, Show answer Thanks for your comments! There are two possibilities as of now: 1st, use the checksum mode, where Create Synchronicity checks files for changes byte per byte instead of relying on file times and sizes. You can read more about this on the help page, on manual ; please let me know if you need help with this.

My point when designing Create Synchronicity was to make sure that anyone could use the app, possibly relying on a more experienced friend to do the initial configuration.

In my testing, it appeared that some people didn't notice the buttons that appeared at the bottom of the window when you left-clicked that's how I originally designed the app , and didn't think to left-click.

You can however expand the window and thus see the settings even when left-clicking, or simply press Escape when the menu is shown, and navigate with the arrow keys.

I can't reproduce this problem on my test machine. Could you send me a screenshot? Meanwhile, pressing Ctrl-L will change way profiles are listed, this could help. Sorry for the trouble! If not, I'll add that info in the information panel. Thanks a lot for your feedback, it really helps! And thanks for your nice comments.

Comment by Rudy Post reply. The best back-up software I found to date. Could it be faster? It copies backups my files again even if they have not changed, for example iso and TrueCrypt files.

If it would store the content list on the NAS also then a simple compare would suffice and much time is saved.

Comment by Hans Post reply. Comment by NightOwl Post reply. Excellent software: works fast, safe and reliable. Simply the best sync-program! Thank you so much, Your program is the only free one that I have found that syncs my files correctly and gives me notifications in the taskbar.

Comment by aeroporos Post reply. Your software is great! I use CS on my net cafe to synchronize my games on server with clients. I have a question. I check my speed on lan with Lan speed test program and on reed and on copy have mbps speed and with CS go only 10 mbps. Can you tellme why i have low speed with CS to fix it. This difference is generally related to the units in which speed are expressed. Comment by Jeff Post reply. Hi, I am using this software for about 6 months now.

It backups my home shared disk with all the family files. Runs every night. Comment by Philippe Samson Post reply. Have been using CS for the backups of the files of an animation short project I'm doing and I really like it.

Show question I would like the addition of a feature I think is missing if there's already a way to do it with CS please tell me. I can synchronise the files in one single folder but sometimes it's usefull and more safe to keep past versions of files, in case one of them turn corrupt for example in the case of big 3d scenes turning messy, or big digital painting photoshop files, etc.

Before using CS, I usually just copy-pasted my big project folder in my external drive in separated dated folder. Now, whit CS, I just change the destination folder from time to time; either way I end up wasting a lot of space, because the majority of the content in the project's folder and subfolders doesn't change and the same files get backuped multiples times. I was thinking maybe something ressembling some kind of mix between a incremental synchronisation and a version control would be nice.

Comment by Philip Post reply. The program is simple and works impeccably; but I'd like the opportunity to click on the 'Done' bar and see which files have been created, deleted or modified. Hi, thanks for your suggestion! Could you open a feature request? Comment by TJ Geezer Post reply. A great convenience - makes a daily update of crucial files painless and handles both multiple directories in a job and multiple jobs. I looked for something that could do what this program does for a long time.

I would not be without it. Comment by Slobodan Dijakovic Post reply. Hi sweated developer, I very much appreciate your work, finely done, useful and user friendly. Hi Slobodan, Thanks for your suggestions! Profiles groups are coming in the next release 6. Comment by Prince B Post reply.

The program is incredibly lightweight too. Comment by G Cintron Post reply. Hi there, this program is awesome but I am having some errors I am not sure if they even matter all that much. Everything else appears to have succeded. What is this about? It seems to have every single backup. Reply by createsoftware users. Hi G, These files store a part of your Windows registry. There's no way to back them up, except perhaps booting in safe mode, as they are constantly being accessed by the system to read and write registry keys.

If you only want to back up your documents, you can safely ignore these errors, or exclude these files that's what I do. If you're looking for a solution that allows you to restore your complete system if a failure occurs, then you had better use a disk imaging app instead. Generally speaking though, I would really suggest backing up only your documents, and recreating your configuration should your hard drive fail.

Comment by CM Post reply. Brilliant light weight software that does the job extremely well I get the window with no profiles in it, so I close and re-run it, and things are ok. Any reason? The options are Create Sync greyed out and close. I need something to like!

I'll donate to you soon as well, would love to see this app become what I see it can be. Hi CM, thanks for your comments. I don't have a facebook page yet, since I don't have that much free time these days. The latest builds Latest builds allow you to start Create Synchronicity from the tray icon. CS doesn't run as a service, since it minimizes the possibilities of interaction with the user. Comment by Jack Post reply. This is a great App, thank you! Hi Jack, groups are available in the Latest builds.

See the manual for more info. Comment by doh Post reply. Could you please add autostart feature and minimize to notification area. So it will be easier to be always sync. That's perfectly what I was looking for!!!

Light, Fast,Perfect! Comment by jason Post reply. I have tried quite a few synch programs until I came across CreateSynchronicity, it looks neat and very small. Just the kind of program I want to use. But now I am still trying it out to see if it works perfectly for me. My requirements are simple for now, just sync between folders in drives or USB.

If it's good I plan to recommend it to my friends. Unable to sync files over my network. Works great for local drives. The entry box shows highlighted in red, and doesn't allow me to click on the "Load folder tree" on the right side. What am I doing wrong, or not doing right? I'm using V5. Thanks, Jack. Comment by bobad Post reply. Latest version 5. When I set up a "Strict Mirror" backup, CS usually runs the backup very fast and copies only a few new files and deletes a few obsolete files.

Then,,, for no good reason, CS will copy and replace all the files. Earlier versions didn't do that, not that I noticed. No files were lost, but when updating a 4gb USB flash drive it can mean the difference in a 30 second update and a 5 minute wait and some worry. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I don't think so. Great little program, BTW, I love it!

Hi Bob, could you write me regarding this problem? Your help is vital in making Create Synchronicity better. Comment by Brian Grover Post reply. I looked long and hard before I stumbled on Create Synchronicity. I wanted a lightweight back up and restore solution. I had used Syncback for a long time but it frequently got hung up an long jobs. Some kind of USB issue.

Has never happened to CS. Nicely done. Excellent Backup utility. Limit is stated as characters. Comment by jorge Post reply. I think the log file should be sorted in the inverse order last log on top. It should indeed; only, I'm not sure how to initiate the transition. The upcoming version improves a lot on that Latest builds. Comment by Mitch Post reply. Wow, nice and fast. It looks like groups which I'd find useful are slated for version six.

I assume I could synch groups of dirs of using the command line. Could you please provide some sample command line syntax? Thanks a lot. Updated versions are available from Latest builds. Comment by deesto Post reply. Hi deesto, you're most likely running an outdated version; this problem was fixed a while ago, and happened because of the lack of log trimming. It's not a bug, although it will change with the next release: it did seem to confuse a number of people.

Thanks for the feedback! Comment by Eddy Post reply. Is there a way to sync folder attributes? I have many hidden folders that pop up after I sync. And I don't want to reapply hidden properties to every folder. Is there some setting I'm missing?

Comment by Fred Post reply. Hi, Great program. Just a question, I can't find in the manual where it describes "Limited copy". Sorry if I'm blind, but what does it mean?

Hi, Limited copy shows true iff you have set restrictions upon which files should be included when synchronizing. Comment by BigEdDude Post reply. Can this be done with no one logged onto the server? If no, would it work with the admin user having the server locked? Thanks in advance for the reply. Hi BigEdDude! Hi, thanks for the input. I'll try to have a look asap; in the meantime, can you file a bug report , to remind me about this problem?

Comment by cool Post reply. Thanks a million. This software is exactly what I was looking for. If it wasn't written in VB, I would have help in development, but I guess you did a great job.

Comment by Shawn Post reply. Thanks for the awesome program! Just a question, do you plan on adding notification backup complete, error, update, etc to this? Hi Shawn, thanks for the interesting input. I've replied to you by mail; could you post this as a feature request?

Comment by thierry Post reply. Hello I love your software because it is very easy to use. Why does it disturb you to enable expert mode? Comment by Janaka Post reply. Can i do this. Hi Janaka, You should use a script running when your session opens to start Create Synchronicity.

Comment by Geoffrey Post reply. The key benefit of this utility is its simplicity; however, I would like to see one further feature, that to me, would make Create Synchronicity stand out above the other backup software. It would be nice to be able to include files that have changed within, say, the last x days in the backup procedure, i. I've implemented this feature. See manual for more information. Comment by larry Post reply. Create Synchronicity very cool little utility!

Comment by Jdogzilla Post reply. Great sync tool. Much faster than most other stuff I have used. Would be great if you could make this cross-platform, so it can be used on Mac and Linux too!

Is there a way for :- Left to right Incremental to keep a maximum x amount of each files on the right so as not to end up with files of the same document?

Hi Kevin, "Left to right Incremental " only keeps one copy of each file. Comment by Gerald Scarbrough Post reply. Is there a way to make any files that are going to be deleted from the "right side" go to the recycle bin rather than just removing them completely?

Hi Gerald, I haven't implemented this yet, but you could open a feature request if you'd like to have this feature. Comment by Cverniani Post reply. Thank you for your works. Hi Cverniani, Thanks for your suggestion; copying ntfs permissions is tricky, because having access rights doesn't imply having permission-changing rights. You could open a feature request if you really want this feature.

Comment by Carl Post reply. Any chance of implementing encryption?

I would love to be able to synch my files to a network attached drive and have them encrypted. I would advise syncing to a TrueCrypt volume. TrueCrypt provides much more security it's developed and tested by cryptography experts and flexibility than Create Synchronicity alone could.

Comment by Kyle Post reply. I wanted to thank you for an awesome program. It really helps back up all of my images and keep things synced. As a professional photographer, these types of tools are very valuable. I have made a donation via PayPal to support your efforts and challenge more users of this program to do the same.

I was looking for one to change MS SyncToy and this one is awesome! Thanx again! Comment by Roelof Post reply. All I'm looking for. One issue though: queing profiles doesn't work for me. Any idea what the problem could be? Is there a command that queues all profiles? Many thanks, and keep up the good work!! Type sudo su and hit Enter. Now, enter the password for Linux. This will grant root privileges to Linux. Next, enter the below commands to install some essential packages on Linux.

Note that there is a space between cd and dots. Having done that, run the below commands one by one. The whole process will take some time so keep patience. Move back to the WindowsSubsystemAndroid folder in C: drive and paste the four files. Now, move to the WindowsSubsystemAndroid folder and open the Tools folder. We are finally ready to install Google Play Store on Windows Just follow the steps below to proceed.

After that, run the below command. If you get any errors, you will have to enable Developer Mode in Windows 11 to fix the issue. Now, run the above command, and it should work fine. Now, open the Start Menu, and you will find Windows Subsystem for Android is successfully installed on your Windows 11 computer. Open it to proceed further.

Note down the IP address as we will need it later. Now, you can close the Files window. Here, note down the IP address shown under the wireless debugging settings. We are really close to accessing the Google Play Store to install Android apps with ease. If you get a failed error, run the command again, and you will be connected this time.

Next, run the below commands one by one. This will allow you to enter the Shell mode of WSA and grant superuser rights. Finally, run the below command to change the SELinux mode to permissive. Now, go ahead and search for Play Store in the Start menu and open it. Restore the Kernel on Windows Subsystem for Android While everything is done and you have got the Play Store running on your Windows 11 machine, you need to restore the original kernel file. To do that, closely follow the steps below:.

Close all the windows and open the Settings page of WSA. Here, turn off Windows Subsystem for Android. You should wait till the loading sign disappears. You are done. It will not just allow you to officially download Android apps from the Google Play Store but also use apps dependent on Google Play Services for notifications and other services.
