    WinZip [resolved]

    By default it uses my c:\ drive to compress files, then moves the compressed file to d:\. How can I make the temp drive d:\?

    or you could just wipe out winzip because it sucks, and get winrar because it is faster, has more supported formats, and gets better compression in rar format than winzip does in zip format

    I have WinRAR but wanted zip first because it was a more universal format. *shrug*

    WinRAR does zip files. In fact it seems faster than WinZip sometimes.

    1) its a windows thing, change the windows temp path


    2) get a cloth... wrap up your files... and squeeze them up... then get laid
