Hello,

Recent versions of windows allow the user to browse the contents of a
zip archive in the explorer as if it were a normal folder.

Does anybody know if this is exposed at the windows api level in some
way?

Thanks,
Mano

AFAIK, both yes and no. You see, the ZIP capability in XP/2003 is
really just a licensed subset of DynaZip (www.dynazip.com). Hence the
APIs, and full support are licensed and available there.
