I got an idea last night, and forwarded it on to the makers of WinZip, the most popular windows zip/unziping utility. The idea, would be that when you unzip something, winzip would store the unzipped folder contents, and either a user created name, or the actual zip's filename in a database. Then if you decided to remove something you had installed, you would just load winzip, and then select the file in question to remove! Every file in every folder that had unzipped would then be removed. (and if a file was not found, a search requester would come up, and allow you to search a partition, or target folder.) If you like this idea, then drop Winzip a line at help@winzip.com and let them know it sounds like a great new feature. (I'm looking at a 14.7 gig runtime right now, with over 69,000 files, and 4,500 folders!)
Way too many people take way too many things way too seriously.
