Folders (Configuration)

Select the Folders tab from the Configuration Dialog Box to control these options:

Start-up folder

Unless you start WinZip® by double clicking on an archive, WinZip will optionally change to a folder of your choice when it starts up. Files in this folder are automatically displayed in the Open archive and New archive dialog boxes. The following choices control which folder is used.

• System default - WinZip does not change folders, so the system default folder is in effect. Usually this is the folder containing WINZIP32.EXE.
• Last open archive - WinZip changes to the folder containing the last open archive during your last WinZip session, unless it is on your A: or B: drive.
• Folder - WinZip always changes to the specified folder.

Extract folder

These selections determine the default folder that WinZip automatically lists in the Extract to field in the Extract dialog box. You can, of course, type over this default folder name or select a different folder from the folder list.

• Open archive folder - WinZip lists the name of the folder containing the open archive in the Extract to field. For example, if the archive c:\download\tools.zip is open, WinZip will list c:\download.
• Last extract folder - WinZip will list the name of the folder you used during the last Extract operation, unless it is on your A: or B: drive. This value is saved when you exit WinZip so you can use it during your next WinZip session.
• Folder - WinZip always lists the specified folder. This value is saved when you exit WinZip so you can use it during your next WinZip session.

Add folder

These selections determine the default folder when the Add dialog box is opened.

• Open archive folder - WinZip uses the folder containing the open archive.
• Last add folder - WinZip uses the folder you used during the last Add operation, unless it is on your A: or B: drive. This value is saved when you exit WinZip so you can use it during your next WinZip session.
• Folder - WinZip always uses the specified folder. This value is saved when you exit WinZip so you can use it during your next WinZip session.

Working folder

When an existing Zip file is modified (for example, by adding files), WinZip must make a temporary copy of the Zip file. Normally, WinZip will create the temporary Zip file in the folder containing the open Zip file. If, however, the open Zip file is on removable media (e.g., diskettes), WinZip will create the temporary Zip file in the folder specified here. This is done because there may not be enough free space on the removable media to hold two copies of the file.

You can tell WinZip to use the specified folder for all Zip files, including those on nonremovable media, by unchecking the box labeled Use for removable media only.

The working folder is also used as a staging area when creating new Zip files on CD or DVD.

When using ARJ to create an archive WinZip specifies this folder name via the -w switch.

CheckOut base folder

If specified, WinZip uses this folder as the prefix for the default folder in the CheckOut dialog box. If this field is left blank WinZip will instead use the folder containing the open archive.

Temp folder

This entry specifies the location for temporary files created by WinZip, including files created during the View operation. If you run out of disk space during a View operation, change the Temp Folder to specify a drive and folder with sufficient free space.
