I couldn't find an answer anywhere I looked.
Is it possible to get Windows to treat some other file extension as a
compressed folder?
For example, I would like to be able to open .jar and .xpi files, which
are really zipped archives, as I do .zip archives, without having to
rename them or use a separate program.
Thanks,
Mark |
