To start with- what a GREAT IDEA.
Never thought of that. Keeps you from having to pick through all the individual folders.
So you know, just tried it after reading this and Zip Genius will allow you to do the same thing- plus create self extracting zips, disk spanning, sfx zips that will launch a program and other tools.
So I'll keep it listed instead of Winzip because of the additional features (things like self extracting zips are only available in the Winzip payware version, and it won't pester you to register when you start it up). If I couldn't have done your trick in the utilities listed above, would have added a Winzip link.
Did find out, can't use your idea in IZArc because it displays the folder structure like windoze explorer.
So it's Winzip or ZipGenius for your method ( I like it, like it, like it!
)
