In reply to Erdeslawe's post on October 27, Again thanks for your help Regards Mike G. I never del zip files after extracting who cares let it be there when it is over load format the computer hehehe.

But for me I just realise that they make it difficult to find files as they are strewn all over my documnets and they make the file folders look messy!

I tend to unzip a file, use it then delete the file i unzipped and keep the zipped file. This way it saves space and I keep the files labeled clearly enough that i can re-find the items if i need to. I don't zip files of photos though. Read the steps below to know the tool's usage:. Step 2.

It helps fill in the blanks for what is or may be happening. Now, What about windows set up files. Are there parts of windows that can be archived the same way?

Are there other setup files on a machine that might be archived as well. Keeping a machine organized seems really overwhelming sometimes. I remember my first computer loading dos up and then loading the program you would use, one at a time… No windows to switch programs with, at least not until Atari came out with a better unit and hard drives….

Leo, Thanks for answering this question, particularly because I was who asked it. In fact, Leo, on the fifth birthday of my workhorse Studio, I owe you the biggest thanks of all that my favorite electronic child is still thriving. I am a walking, talking recent example of why those install files are so precious. Among my reinstalls were Quicken 99 and Acrobat Pro 8. Both products are deprecated and no longer supported.

The vendors, after all, have a vested interest in getting us to abandon our oldies but goodies. I will soon have to scrub or nuke my Windoze 7 instalation because of it. Also, is this the one that fills all available memory space with instances of COM Surrogate?

Is it not the case that sometimes the installation files are also the uninstall files? This is true. More often the setup process will install an uninstall program of some sort, or copy what needs to be saved to the install folder.
