7-Zip Options Dialog Box
You can change many of the settings that affect the 7-Zip Plugin
in the 7-Zip Options Dialog Box.
To access this dialog box, select Options from the Tools menu, then select the Plugins Page,
select 7-Zip plugin, and press Options.
The options dialog box contains the following pages:
System Page
Allows you to specify behavior of 7-Zip in Windows Shell.
- Integrate 7-Zip to shell context menu
- Select this check box to add 7-Zip commands to Shell Context Menu.
- Cascaded context menu
- Select this check box to group 7-Zip context menu items to one 7-Zip submenu.
- Context menu items
- Lists the optional context menu items. If an item is checked,
7-Zip will add this item to the context menu.
Folders Page
Allows you to set the folders which 7-Zip will use for internal purposes.
Working folder
The working folder section allows you to specify a folder which will be used
for temporary archive files:
- System temp folder
- 7-Zip will use the Windows temp folder.
- Current
- 7-Zip will use the folder containing the target archive.
- Specified
- 7-Zip will use the folder specified in the following edit control.
- Use for removable drives only
- Specifies whether 7-Zip should use the specified folder settings
only for removable drives; for other drives, 7-Zip will create
temporary archives in the folder containing the target archive.
If you clear this check box, 7-Zip always will use the specified folder
settings mode always.
7-Zip uses temporary archive files for all update operations.
So, for speed reasons, it is recommended that you select the
System temp folder option and select
Use for removable drives only check box.
