I'm happy for him, but I dislike that extension. It's one of the first things I disable in a new Windows installation. I prefer to deal with compressed files explicitly.
It's in that awkward state where it kind of works and is really convenient, but you hit its limitations and general slowness all the time. It's good enough that it hasn't been replaced (say by an extension that employs a filter driver to make ZIPs truly behave like folders to all applications), but bad enough that it's annoying and most power users end up with 7Zip or WinRar instead.
I so agree. I've helped so many people that don't understand what a zipped archive is because they just open like any other folder, but only in windows explorer. I turn that nonsense off and explain to them the ins and outs.
