FLstat zip opener - Zeerow - 03-30-2017
I am currently trying to download FLstat, but I lack a zip.file opening program. Are there any safe zip opening programs I can download for free?

.zip support is built into Windows isn't it?

If zip support is built into windows I have not found a way to use it on windows 10

The English Wikipedia page on the ZIP format says "Microsoft has included built-in .ZIP support (under the name "compressed folders") in versions of Microsoft Windows since 1998." - it doesn't have a reference for this but I'm pretty sure about everything except the year.
Is it possible you did http://www.thewindowsclub.com/disable-windows-built-in-zip at some point?

You can use built in Windows support by just double clicking the .zip file.
The problem with this is that Windows doesn't treat the operation as a read and export, but rather as an open and move because it treats the .zip as a folder, not as a file.
