Weird thing. For another program that was 7ziped, it didn't download properly, so I thought I needed to unzip it. Just went to the download page and downloaded the program about 2 hours ago.

I just now had the time to run the paf, I double clicked on the paf and the eraserdroptarget program started to install. It had the 7zip icon and all. I went back to the download page and downloaded the paf, and installed it fine.

Don't know what happened in those 2 hours. I hadn't downloads the droptarget since it came out a few weeks ago, so I was confused.

7-Zip: Registry Entries

Submitted by Devo on May 15, 2008 - 9:24am

I've used PortableFileAssociator to associate 7-Zip as the default application for opening .zip files. I know this probably isn't supported, but it makes my life easier. Everytime I extract a zip file and exit the program, entries are left at HKCU\Software\7-zip. Again I know this was probably never intended, but does anybody know why this is happening?

7-Zip: portable shell integration

Now, I understand that this is a touchy topic, and is considered "unsafe", but in this particular case I think it is warranted. Currently, whenever you change options in 7-zip portable (enabling context menu, file associations, etc) it treats it as though it was a desktop installation and so, if you HAVE a desktop installation already, it overwrites your local settings. Is there any way to add this into the launcher to backup the file associations and other options, then create file associations to the portable version?
