Re: Zip API in WindowsXP

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

In WindowsXP when I hover over a zip file a yellow help-style box will
pop-up displaying the first 10 or so entries in the zip file. There has
got to be a way to tap into the API that XP uses to enumerate the
contents. I dont need to compress or decompress, I just need to see
what the contents are and list them to a file.

See if this works for you, it simply enumerates the header of the .ZIP file without going deeper into the file and
doesn't require any third party libraries:

Hope this helps,
