I installed a trial version of Stuffit 9.0 to unzip a Stuffit-specific file. After uninstalling Stuffit, I've lost the extract all function in the Windows explorer. Most annoying.

Installed "7-Zip". I can now unzip, but I'm stiff miffed by the other problem.

Hi Jo Franklin...

Download the attached txt file to your desktop. Once downloaded, right click on the file and choose "Rename". Change the txt extension to reg (the file should be named zipfolder.reg). Set the name change by left clicking on the desktop (the icon should change). Right click on the file and select "Merge" and accept the change.

Reboot your machine...is the "Extract All" back in the context menu?
