I right-clicked a folder and used the 7-zip compression program but I cannot find the resultant compressed file.  I did a search and nothing turned up.  What would be the best way to find the compressed file?Do it again and this time watch where it's saved (there should be a message within the program). Otherwise, check for SUB-folders in the 7-zip program or just do a search of the hd.The program says this:  which looks like a temp file.  It doesn't show up in a search.


C:\ DOCUME -1\USERPC...D.tmp\the Kinks.7zGo to C:\Documents and Settings and look for a sub folder starting with the name USERPC...  the name of the saved file is the kinks.7z.

In the future, change the destination folder to one of your choosing in 7-zip's options.There's no files in the userpc folder with name I'm looking for.The name of the folder us userpc(something).tmpAttached is a screen shot of the program as it compressed the file. There was no temp file folder inside userpc

It'll sure solve your save LOCATION problem.
I didn't SAY it was inside userpc. It is a sub folder of Documents & Settingsenter %TEMP% in the addressbar. The file is in a folder within the %TEMP% folder, and the folder has a "tmp" extension.

Or even better- use one of the other 7-zip options in the menu that allows you to choose the save location (Compress To...) I believe is one of them.What do you mean "within the ADDRESS bar"?

They don't show up in %TEMP% either.
