Default What programs open a zip file?

I HAD something that opened zips by default but then I downloaded imageburn. Imageburn made itself the default for all kinds of things it can't open and now I can't find my program to open zips. I'm using Vista64. Anyone got an idea for me?...

Thanks Dave. LOL 30 seconds after posting this thread (after who knows how long searching BEFORE I did this thread) I found it. If you want to delete this thread to save bandwidth, I won't complain.

Thanks again.

7-Zip is also a good choice and open source.

http://www.7-zip.org/

It doesn't support as many formats a IZArc though.

Well first off anyone that likes Worf is cool with me lol and second off.........

7zip is what I always used and downloaded when I made this thread. I WILL however give izarc a try since serverdudes "suggestions" like Carbons have NEVER steered me wrong. (phil thomas as well as some others too). Unfortunately the site won't let me give them rep everytime they help me lol.
