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
If specified, temporary Zip files are created in this folder. If this
option is not specified, temporary Zip files are created in the folder
containing the open Zip file. This option is particularly useful when you
are updating an archive and there is not enough room on the destination
drive for both the original archive and the updated archive. This is most
likely to occur when you are working with removable media (e.g. diskettes).
You can tell WinZip to use this feature only when working with Zip files on
removable media by checking the Use for removable media only checkbox.
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 and Virus Scan operations. If you
run out of disk space during a View or Scan operation, change the Temp
Folder to specify a drive and folder with sufficient free space.
