Windows is capable of managing archives in ZIP format for Windows XP, but with Windows 7, Microsoft has still not seen fit to include support for other formats. Among all managers archives free, I used a 7-Zip.

7-Zip is a free archive manager and rather complete. It can extract and create archives in ZIP, GZIP, BZIP2, TAR, and 7z. This format is the default format of 7-Zip and offers a gain compression in some cases not negligible compared to ZIP and RAR formats to name a few (about 5% to 50%).

This archive manager is also capable of extracting format archives ARJ, CAB, CHM, DEB, DMG, HFS, ISO, LZH, LZMA, MSI, NSIS, RAR, UDF, WIM, Z, to name only the more common in the PC world.

Regarding features, this program fits in naturally with the Windows contextual menu, you can create self-extracting archives or encrypted and able to take advantage of multiple core processors lately.

If you do not know what archive manager to choose, let yourself be tempted by it. If you already use one, why not tell us which one?
