Is there a free program out there.  I was using winzip but the trial period ran out.

Powerarchiver, and just ignore the nagging when it wants you to register.

Oh, you mean really free. No idea.  :blush:

I use WinRar.  If you open the program, it'll ask you to register, but since it's shell-integrated, there's no reason to ever open the program.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

7zip, I believe it's even opensource. It's quite nice as you can make it unrar as well.

Yeah it's very useful and there's no nagging messages.

7zip and EasyZip are both free. Want to watch it, though- I've gotten corrupted ZIP archives out of both.

Windows XP should be able to unzip zip files anyway.
PDH!

ZIP files, yes. I use WinAce because I mess with a lot of archives that need to be segmented for not-killing-bandwidth purposes.

Well that's terrible.  Somebody alert the anti-trust assholes.

Technically, it's a plugin feature included in the same bundle that lets you use Windows Explorer to burn data CDs.

IZarc is free as well and is a universal unzipper like 7Zip.

WinRar... or as stated, if it's a .zip just use Windows.
