Does any one know where I can download the zip util that is sopposed to come with vista?

I would forgo that trash altogether.

Winrar will do zips....quicker....as well as rar and other compression extensions.

Vista Home Premium does unzip things for me. What exact type of file are you trying to unzip? Did you right-click and select the option from the context menu?

I do not get the oprion to unzip ( I always right click instead of double clicking) I can not open any zipped file E.G. hijackthis.zip

Double click on the compressed file to open the zip folder...then right click on the resulting file (within the compressed folder) and choose "Open" from the context menu. It's all a little more automated in Vista.

pop up reads "windows can not open this file to open file windows needs to know what file you want to use to open it.....................

This is a file association problem. The .zip extention needs to be associated with explorer. when I fixed it I had to go into the registry so I will not post the fix as I do not wish to be responcable for ruining some ones computer because I directed them to edit the registry when they where not experianced

Actually, all you should have had to do is right click and choose "Properties", under the General tab, click on the "Change" button, use the Browse button to navigate to Windows\explorer.exe, click "Open", then Apply the change.
