  Step 5:  Using Power Archiver

Open a Report
Power Archiver is now the default utility for compressed files. This means if you double-click a ZIP file, Power Archiver will open it, instead of other ZIP utilities you may have been using before. If you right click a ZIP file, the options menu will contain new Power Archiver options, some of which are very similar to those of WinZip. You can fix this by uninstalling one of the two utilities. For more information on making ZIP files, see the series "Running your backups."
