Default Zip missing

I used to be able to unzip files by right clicking on the
icon but now it seems to be missing, any ideas?

Thanks for any help.

Somehow you may have uninstalled 'Compressed folders' - go to Add/Remove
Programs, select the Windows Setup tab, and then highlight the 'System
Tools' option - press the 'Details' button, and then highlight the
'Compressed folders' option.

If it's unchecked, then check it, and click OK out to Windows, and reboot.

If it's checked, then uncheck it, click OK out to windows, reboot, then go
back, and check it again, OK out and reboot again

That *should* fix it.

Hi Noel, many thanks for your help. The system tools
option was ticked so I unticked it and re ticked it and
the file size increased. The zip extractor works fine now.
Many thanks
Sean.
