Plus enhanced support for Windows XP :-
  • When running under Windows XP, WinZip 8.1 operates as a native Windows XP program. There is no need to set compatibility mode.
  • WinZip includes the following support for Windows XP themes :-
    • Menus, buttons, controls, lists, and checklists conform to the current theme.
    • Shaded columns and XP-style sort arrows indicate the column by which the file list is sorted and the sort order.
    • Resizable dialogs use grippers matching the current theme.
    • Both the WinZip program itself and self-extracting Zip files created by WinZip Self-Extractor Personal Edition use "highest quality" XP-style color images and background blending for WinZip-related icons. This occurs wherever these icons are displayed by Windows Explorer or My Computer, as well as for WinZip's own toolbar icons.
    • Self-extractors created by WinZip Self-Extractor Personal Edition support XP themes when displaying dialogs and messages.
  • Shared computer support includes:
    • With Fast User Switching, another user can log on and perform other operations (including using WinZip) while a long WinZip operation is being performed.
    • WinZip's Favorite Folders feature now monitors more folders, including Windows XP's "Shared Documents" folder and its subfolders, making it easier to find Zip files created or stored by other users.
