    What program do you use to handle file archives like zip, 7z, rar etc? For compression and decompression of files and directories?

    Do you just use the built in unzipper in windows XP?

    Or do you use Winzip? Winrar? Power achiver? Ultimatezip?

    Tugzip? Izarc? Zip genius? 7z? Freezip? QuickZip? ICEOWS? WinImp?

    Or do you just use a file manager that has compression and decompression abilities built in?

    Used to use WinZip not any more beacuse of cheap external hard disk and 4 GB flash drive to transfer data between PCs. Also most people had broadband now most file can be transfer through the internet/email without compression.
