PA 21.00.18 running on Windows 7 64 bit.
I made a big .PA file and thought I’d check it was made correctly with Menu / Actions / Test.
Discovered:
a) PA always issues a UAC prompt to do this!
b) PA always says there are many errors in PA files.
WinRAR 5 has a rather useful option in some cases, which is to be able to create an archive by replacing identical files with a reference to the first occurrence (hardlink) within the archive.
In case you choose to convert the file with PowerArchiver to another format, however, the resulting archive does not have all the files. It does not consider those that were present as hardlinks.
If you do a normal extraction of the RAR archive instead, even with PowerArchivier, all the files are extracted correctly.

Why does PowerArchiver disable the XP compressed folder after installation? I’m a registered user of PowerArchiver 2006.

It doesn’t “disable” it… It associates .zip archives with itself… You can configure this under Configuration > File Formats.
Disable there “zip archives (*.zip)”…

You can uncheck “Associate PowerArchiver with recommended formats” while installing PA

You can still use built in zip utility by right clicking on the zip file and selecting Explore. I just dont see why would you :-).
