The other day when I tried to open a zip file WinZip popped up with the following dialog box.
How many options?!
I shared it with my colleagues, via Slack. Most laughed. Particularly the final option: “Setup proxy server settings”. (And it wasn’t because they had used a noun rather than a verb: see ‘setup’ vs ‘set up’.)
Anyway, I clicked “Don’t check, but ask me again in a week”.
Pause.
Wait a minute?! Did it… Did it just…?!
Did it just check? I definitely clicked on “Don’t check…”
It’s maybe time to go looking for a new zip application, WinZip is getting unnecessarily bloated and slow. And now it doesn’t even listen to what I want it to do.
Would you like me to check for the availability of an alternative?
Any suggestions, folks? I’m running Windows 8.1 Pro.
