This seems a pritty unique and rare case, sounds very much system specififc.

Before you download the most up to date version fo PowerArchiver. Try uninstalling PowerArchiver and all of its plugins ie Patchbeam, POAP etc. Then delete the containing folders if they still exist;

“C:\Program Files\PowerArchiver”

"C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\ConeXware\PowerArchiver"

Download CCleaner and run a full clean include registry clean.

Restart your system.

Create a brand New Profile, install PowerArchiver on that profile.

Does it work? if it does flick over to your existing old profile and register PowerArchiver as you would normally.

Does it work?

I think there is a profile specific issue causing you a problem. if it works on a brand new profile where PA has never before been installed or existed then all those links will be recreated from scratch , including shell’s and hidden directories.

If you just create a new profile and dont uninstall or clean 1st then those registry links are transfered.

I hope this might help you.

i will try those things and let you know but if i open the file with power archiver then extract it works fine. it is only when you right click the file and select the extract her or to fiel etc that powerarchiver puts there. i installed 7zip and it works fine and its right click options also work. i reinstalled the 1211 version the last time with powerarchiver

@spwolf:

does it happen if you extract anywhere or some folders? For instance, copy one zip file to desktop and use Extract here… does that work?

please try what I suggested above. thanks.
