ok so I was wondering if there was anyway to merge three zip files into 1... :confused:

I.E. I have three slipknot videos from Jimmy Kimmel and I was hopig that I could make it so that instead of having to open each one after the other closes that I could just have them as one file so that they play right after each other..?

Extract all the files from the three archives, then make a new archive containing all those extracted files.

XP? Right click the desktop or in a folder and select New > Compressed (zipped) Folder. Easy as 3.1415926.

Disabling zip folders is one of the first things I do on clean XP installations, they're a pain in the nexk more than useful :D

I'd rather have it incorporated into the operating system than in a whiny program that cries because I haven't paid for it and makes me go through a bunch of screens.

I'd rather not have it integrated into the OS and I go into a large zip folder without noticing and then the CPU and HD starts churning away for years because Windows has to decompress everything to some temp folder somewhere because it can't edit zip folders' contents on the fly :p

Maybe you should pay attention to what you're clicking :o

It's the size I don't notice, not the fact I click on the wrong thing, not that that matters anyway :p Just entering the folder doesn't require unzipping the entire thing, only when you need to change the contents of it :p
