- "Pea sets your archives free"
Novice-friendly but with features for the expert and free archiving tools rarely cover all those bases, but PeaZip hits a home run.
Operating PeaZip is as easy as dragging files. Drop a ZIP file on the interface and PeaZip goes into decompression mode. Drop a regular file and it opens the archiving screen. Well-labeled buttons and simple functions make both processes quick and painless. Adding files and folders is also quickly accomplished using function buttons and traditional file browse tools.
Novice users will be able to use default settings to create well-made archives. Experienced users will like the easily set options. Each well-designed interface includes option tabs that contain simple pull-downs, radio buttons, and text boxes to set compression levels, methods, dictionaries, and even encryption. Most users will find this app one of the most simple to set exactly to their preferences.
Anyone looking for a small and useful archiving tool should give PeaZip a test. Most won't continue their search.

Pros: Essentially perfect product for the non-power user (In other words, most folks). Free, Drag and drop. Every compression type you could want, ease of use, Send To context menu, etc.
Cons: Removed ALL my icons from Control Panel (in Vista View, ALL icons were gone altogether - In Classic view as well, although only half of the medium icons were missing, while ALL of the large icons were.)
Summary: - Spent a week scouring the 'net looking for an answer to this mystery. There are TONS of folks having this issue, but no mention of PeaZip. Just a hard to find and only partially working HotFix. When I realized that it would take dealing with Mi... read more >>
