Thanks Madhu,
ReplyDelete7-zip is a marvellous software.
I wonder how they are able to achieve this in just 1 MB installation size.
I have thrown away all the other archiving softwares and now using only 7-zip.
With this I am able to open tar, zip, rar, gz... files. Thanks to 7-zip team.
You can even open and see the contents of an SETUP File ( .exe) on 7-zip. For more file type association

Hope u will enjoy that
