I'm not sure if this is possible or not but if it was it would make my life allot easier. What I want to do is get the "open with" option to open and make edits to a file in a .zip file without extracting the file. I am working on something and I need to open zip files and manipulate the data inside of them. What I am doing right now is copying the files I need to edit out of the archive, editing them, then copying them back into the archive. I am doing this dozens of times an hour. Is there a way to get the "open with" context option when you are viewing files in a compressed file in Windows Explorer? I am using Windows 7. Could anyone suggest a easier way for me to do this?

Many third party file compression utilities are available that allow this. e.g. 7Zip, WinZip, WinRAR.

Use an external program, like 7zip or winrar to manipulate the files
