The ZIP decompression system under Win7 is still WinRAR's own master

WinRAR is also good, 7-zip is also good, users are always used to install one of them when installed, Xiaobian prefers free and more powerful 7-zip.
Before the Windows system supports the ZIP file format, users are complaining about Microsoft, "and even such popular file formats do not support". When Microsoft started supporting files in ZIP format since Windows Vista, users felt that this function was “all right and wrong”, and some even thought that this function was purely “chicken”.
In Windows 7 or Vista system, when the system recognizes the existence of a file with ZIP format, the resource manager will automatically call it, prompting the user to extract the files in the current ZIP package (Figure 1).

In this regard, some users believe that the ZIP file extraction function built in Windows 7 system is more convenient in operation than WinRARA, so I would like to abolish this association.
On the Windows 7 or Vista system, run the registry editor, respectively, to the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT /CLSID /branch (Figure 2) and HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT /CLSID /branch (Figure 3), and then delete the corresponding branch items Just fine.


Exit the registry editor, after the restart, the changes will take effect.
Editor's Comments:
Although the above method is simple and straightforward, I do not recommend it. If WinRAR is already installed on your system, you can change the default association program to WinRAR by modifying the way the ZIP file is opened.
Of course, in the examples in this article, you can completely solve the similar settings of software such as 7-zip.
