Re: Explorer.exe Crash on right click
This appears to be happening again with the Power Archiver 2022 shell extensions.
When I have Use Explorer Shell Extensions enabled in Power Archiver Configuration and right-click on c:\Users\username\Start Menu, (hidden Junction file), File Explorer crashes.
I have version 21.00.15 (03/2022) 64-bit installed in Windows 10 Version 21H2 (Build 19044.1826).

Powerarchiver 2022
Right-click and select Encrypt on a folder does not work.
Although it says it encrypts, there is no encrypted file in the destination folder. -
The online update feature within the program suggests there is a later version than the ‘.17’ available on the web site. But clicking either download or update just reinstalls version .17.
Either there isn’t an update OR
the “download” and 'update" links should be repaired. -

Hi,
When you click on the Buy Now link, you come across four tabs - Home or Work, Enterprise Unlimited, Educational Discount, & Gift Discount.
What is the difference between a licence purchased via Gift Discount and a Home/Work licence?
Also, how can I renew the PowerArchiver Select plan a year after the purchase? Will it remind me automatically?
Best,

I’m running PA 21.00.17 64-bit on a 64-bit i7 desktop with W10 Pro, latest version. This 32gb of installed RAM.
As I use the PA pbs system for a number of scheduled archiving operations throughout the day, PA Starter is set to load and run at system startup.
In the course of trying to identify some causes of slowness and bottlenecks in other processes, I notice that PA Starter (PAS) always runs at between 11% and 15% of CPU (see screenshot), usually at about 12-13%. This is by far the highest demanding process on the system, as shown by Task Manager. In Performance Monitor, PAS Average CPU is 8.32, with every other process at less that 1 i.e. in decimal places only.
Task Manager also shows PAS Power Usage as “Very High”, and is the only process shown thus.
I have looked again at the information about PAS at https://wiki.powerarchiver.com/en:help:details:powerarchiver_starter, which was last modified in 2016. The article states a low memory usage for PAS of 784k, which is fair enough, but it is the large CPU overhead which is of concern.
It is of course possible to change the PAS priority, but this has no effect on CPU overhead.
However, is it possible to change PAS, which is required only at intervals to initiate PA scheduled tasks, from consuming so much system resource for every moment of the day?

I’m experiencing very slow extraction speed of multipart RAR files. For the first part the extraction is super fast but when PA reaches the part2.rar the extraction from there on gets super slow. PA needed for a 6,3 GB multipart archive 30 minutes to extract. I tested then with another program and it just took 70 seconds. I had this slow extraction speed with PA for quite a long time and I always thought that is maybe because of a high compression rate that the extraction would take longer. But it seems that only PA gets that slow.
I have lots of multipart archives that are 10+ GB and with PA it would be really time consuming. Is there any solution to this?

Hi. The “Move” Action seems to be Not Working when used in the Tool – Batch Archive.
Using the Options – Configuration – Compression Profiles ---- I created a Profile with the Action of Move. Also set were Zip, and Method Deflate.
When I use the Tool - Batch Archive – It appears to me that the Action Move does not Move the compressed files (basically add to zip, and delete the added file from original location on the same disk). Zip file(s) are created and look ok.
Typically I on the Batch Archive process – I have selected options to use a Profile with the Move Action.
File’s Current Folder Group files from same folder into same archive Add subfolders to separate archivesMy PowerArchiver version is 21.00.17 .
Can you reproduce ? – Or do you need additional details or information?

Hello,
PowerArchiver Command Line 7 support file greater than 2 Go ?
Thanks
-
i just registered my own copy and i need some help to set it…
if i set the ‘configuration>shell extension>open folder after extracting’ checkbox, after decompress an archive is opened the file manager on that folder but… if somebody is using a different file manager how to open XYplorer or Directory Opus for example and NOT the MS file manager?
consider this as a feature request also if not available within the 2022 version

I am looking for a way to stop the UAC elevation prompt when running Powerarchiver. In an old post about PA 2019, someone asked this and got a response to uncheck “all users” at the prompt but I am not seeing where one can do this. It definitely seems like the way to go though as if I click on “More Details” at the prompt I see that it is trying to run “_pautil.exe /paassociate /allusers /my(long binary string)”. Can you let me know? Thanks.
PS I tried renaming _pautil.exe and this worked, but I don’t know what the consequence of doing this may be so I would like to do this properly, thanks.

Just a question is Ashampoo zip pro 4 built by Powerrachiver as it is very similar and uses the pae encryption.

There would be many of us with Intel Processors.
and they have their own optimized zlib algorithm, which can result in more efficiency if used combined with their hardware processor.
Reference:
https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/white-papers/zlib-compression-whitepaper-copy.pdfCan we get the same Functionality Under Hardware Acceleration Feature?
Zlib is not the only feature that intel has included with their processor, there’s many, which if combined can result in efficient and better compression ratios.

PA2009 11.03: Shell Ext Missing in Vista x64
-
Hello,
I’ve just set up a new system at home running Vista Business 64-bit. After installing the newest version of PowerArchiver (11.03 currently), the Shell Extensions aren’t showing up in Windows Explorer (or xplorer2 Pro 64-bit).
Things I’ve tried:
- Restarting
- Unchecking and rechecking “Use Explorer Shell Extensions”
- Manually unregistering and reregistering paShlExt.dll
- Uninstalling and Reinstalling PA
At first I thought it might have been due to having DEP enabled for all processes, but scaling it back to the default of essential programs and services didn’t make a difference.
All settings toggles were done with Explorer (including the desktop process) closed (PA was closed as well for unreg/rereg paShlExt.dll). Nothing works. I have no context menu entries for right-clicking a file or right dragging.
All this was done with the built-in Administrator account. It with an elevated desktop process by default, so UAC/Virtualization shouldn’t be interfering.
Other than Office, there’s no other software on the system, and certainly nothing registering a shell extension.
Possibly related: .cab and .zip files are opening in Explorer instead of PA as well, as if their associations in Vista aren’t taking. I’ll have to double-check my registry later, but I’m almost positive that the in HKCR entries for .cab and .zip are correctly pointing to PACAB and PAZIP, respectively. Is there somewhere else the shell could be overriding what it’s seeing in HKCR to cause this?
-
shell extensions have nothing to do with file associations, they are separate parts of program.
Check PAZIP and in registry and see where is it pointing to… is PowerArchiver in that location?
What happens when you launch PowerArchiver manually?
You are running English PA and English Vista?
thanks!
-
also where did you install PA to? (what folder).
thanks!
-
In HKCR:
.zip’s (Default) value points to PAZIP.
PAZIP’s Shell\Open\command(Default) value points to PowerArchiver’s .exeEnglish PowerArchiver and Vista.
PowerArchvier is installed to C:\Program Files (x86)\PowerArchiver.
Explorer shows PowerArchiver’s icon for .cab and .zip files, but double-clicking them causes them to open in Explorer as compressed folders.
Opening PowerArchiver manually, I can navigate to and open the files.
Other types of archives (e.g. .rar, .7z) open in PowerArchiver when double-clicked in Explorer.
To be honest, I’d rather have the shellex working. My primary archive usage is to right-drag a file (or several) to a destination folder and use the commands on the context menu to decompress them into place.
I did finally get around to installing another 3rd party shellex last night and it’s working. I might take a gander through things with Nirsoft’s ShellExView and drive around the registry itself to see if anything looks amiss there.
If I have time, I might also let Process Monitor loose on my system while I try to double-click a .zip and a .cab file to see why Explorer seems to be ignoring the registry.
-
Right click on zip file, and select open with menu… that menu can overwrite file associations. Thats what happened probably…
as to shell extensions, anyone else with same issue?
Did you try deleting PA registry key and running PA again? It is in HKCU\Software\PowerArchiver… also check if there is anything under HKLM\Software\PowerArchiver and if there is, just delete the key.thanks,
-
Re: Associations
Blast it, it’s xplorer2 not honoring the registry settings. Explorer itself is fine. I thought I’d checked them in Explorer, but I must not have. My apologies for wasting your time. :o
Re: Shell Extensions
I’ll try purging HKCU\Software\PowerArchiver and see what I get. I’ll post back in a bit.
HKLM\Software\PowerArchiver only contains my name and serial number, because I’m not a fan of having to put it in on every user account.
-
Tried deleting everything from HKCU\Software\PowerArchiver and unregistering paShlExt.dll. Closed down Explorer (incl Desktop process). Ran PowerArchiver. Still no Shell Extension. Sad panda.
-
I also installed a recent version of PowerArchiver on Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit, and I do not have the explorer extensions. I will try some things later, but the exploder right click menu is just some registry entries.

what folder did you install PowerArchiver in?

I installed it to the default for 64 bit: C:\Program Files (x86)\PowerArchiver

I found a simple solution, it had to do with Explorer.exe processes still being running when PowerArchiver tries to create the explorer menus. The instructions below will recreate the shell extensions for PowerArchiver in Windows Vista 64 bit.
1. Close all your running Windows / Applications.
2. Run PowerArchiver and keep it open
3. Press CTRL-ALT-DEL
4. Click Start Task Manager
5. In Task Manager, click on the Processes tab, then click on “Image Name” column to sort by name
6. Find all ‘explorer.exe’ and ‘explorer.exe *32’ processes. For each one listed, select it and click the End Process button (or u can right click on each one select End Process). You will notice that the windows TaskBar disappears.
7.Go back to your open PowerArchiver window, click on Options. Then click on Configuration.
8. In the Configuration window, find ‘Shell Extensions’ and click on it.
9. Uncheck ‘Use Explorer Shell Extensions’
10. Hit OK to save that setting.
11. Click Configuration and click on Shell Extensions again.
12. Check the ‘Use Explorer Shell Extensions’
13. Hit OK to save that setting.
14. Close PowerArchiver.
15. Press CTRL-ALT-DEL and select ‘Start Task Manager’
16. At the very top is the “File” menu in Task Manger. Click File, then click “New Task (Run…)”
17. In the Create New Task window, type EXPLORER and then hit OK.
18. You should see the windows TaskBar showing again at the bottom of your screen.
19. Click on My Computer or whatever to get the file explorer running and find a ZIP file. Right clicking on the ZIP file should now show the “Extract To…” “Extract here…” etc etc menu options.Hazaa!

bump :)

did you have PA installed previously? And did you restart after 11.03 installation?
Closing explorer.exe “should” only matter if you had PA installed previously and new shell dll cant replace old one…
if this was your first PA installation, then there is some Windows bug that makes this not work - or some other softwate that creates the issue (it should always work)… I just tested with our Vista x64 and it worked fine…
-
p.s. thanks for making it work :-)
-
Did a previous version not work with Vista 64? I don’t remember the PA version that I initially installed on this system, but it was a brand new HP computer.
I remember after the first installation, and that the menus weren’t there because that is the first thing that I use after installing PA. I also did install an update recently and rebooted, and they were still not there after the reboot.
