AX-ZIP Archiver

For some people, archiving and extracting files is part of their daily routine. AX-ZIP Archiver makes this task as easy as possible. The most important aspect is that it eliminates the need to go through menus and options. Extracting or archiving data is just like moving data around in folders in a simple file manager.

The software is free to try, with some limitations. It is compatible with all popular Windows versions and it doesn't have any special requirements. Downloading its setup package and completing the installation process can be done in under a minute, without any effort.

AX-ZIP Archiver resembles a third party file manager, such as Total Commander. Its user interface consists of two identical panels, on which you can browse through your local folders, in tree structures. While navigating through folders and sub-folders, you can bookmark any location, to jump to it instantly the next time you need to reach it.

What makes this software interesting is the fact that it lets you open archives as if they were simple folders. All you have to do is click the Plus next to an archive's icon, in the tree structure, and its contents will appear instantly beneath it. To extract the files, you only need to drag them into a folder on the other panel. The same can be done if you wish to archive one or more files. Just drag them to a folder, from one panel to another and the software will add them to a new archive automatically.
