slow unzip

I have read a lot about the slow Vista unzip function in this forum.
That is also the case with my Vista-machine : several minutes (hours) to
unzip a zip-file.

I have noticed that this is only the case if the zip-file contains folders
and sub-folders.
A zip-file with only files (no folders/sub-folders) in it unzips lightning
fast in pretty much the same way it was done in XP.

That makes me think that the folders/subfolders in a zip-file are the
problem in Vista.
I hope that this may help to find a solution to the nasty problem ?

The solution is not to use Vista at all... all file copying is sluggish...

You delete a shortcut and it needs to "calculate" the time remaining to
delete it.. lol
For crying out loud...

If you insist on using that horrible OS, then you should use some of the
free applications that
exist for unzipping not only zip but other formats like rar.

I would suggest 7zip but vista broke compatibility! ARRGGGG!!!
(yes this is the correct way of viewing this problem, vista changed thus IT
broke compatibility not
as some twisted minds somehow see it the other way around)

I did read the whole post about that horrible OS and twisted minds.

- I am staying with Vista whether you like it or not.
- I am trying to find a solution to make "ZipFolders" faster, because I want
to stay with it. Whether you like it or not.

My initial post was meant for MS-people and other forum members who want to
think in a constructive way.
I was not inviting MS-slammers like you.

I gave you an option in a constructive way. I also criticize vista because
its a pile of crap.

I love MS products as long as they are good. I use them all the time. But to
blindly follow whatever
is shoved down my thought? No SIR!

If you are unable to fix the zip folders themselves to work fast, use a 3rd
party utility like I said...

Most people use WinRar now that is not free..

I took the time to find you the links for a freeware...that is very good if
you see the reviews.

Not only did you not say thank you, you showed some stupid attitude...
just because you cannot handle a person telling you the truth about an OS
you blindly love.

Maybe I have found the culprit ?

I stopped OneCare to permanently check for virusses and spyware and
unzipping of all the zip-files on my system are lightning fast since then.

Maybe a hint for the OneCare people ?

Finally!
The truth!
Thanks.

Thanks for the follow-up post with your solution. I was initially excited
about OneCare but decided to go back to one of the tried and true solutions
everyone knows and hates (Sy***tec). ;)

Hi,
I am glad that my findings were usefull to you.
But : be careful please !
I do not know if it is actually OneCare that is at stake, it might as well
be Vista.
What I am trying to say is that I am not sure that this problem will not
occur with Sy***tec :-))

MS-Adict:
Glad to see that you found the solution. I haven't experienced your
problem but have heard of many issues with OneCare. An alternative for
OneCare is Avast (free), I've heard good reviews. I use Nod32 from eset.com
which is reasonably priced and has very little overhead. For Spyware
Defender works well as does SpyBot (free) and A-Squared (free). I'm not
having problems with Vista other than an occasional 64-bit driver issue.
Have a great day.

You just like causing trouble. Now go play with Ubuntu and leave the Vista
