For several years I have been happily using an all in one file editing/opening platform which is similar in concept to Windows Explorer but far superior...it zips/unzips, plays media files and opens the file type with the appropriate third party program if it does not have the capability itself...and is easy to use for non techies like me!
It is called Scandere Omega Drive 2000 Gold and is available at [URL=http://www.scandere.com]www.scandere.com - think I paid around $30 for it on CD Rom...check it out as I think it has a Free Trial Download.
