How do I choose a WinZip interface?

During the WinZip® setup procedure you are asked to select either the WinZip Wizard interface or the WinZip Classic interface.

Look at these two lists and decide which one seems more like you:

You will probably prefer the more powerful Classic interface if

  • you are an experienced computer user.
  • you are comfortable using Windows and Zip files.
  • you know how to use Windows Explorer.
  • you need finer control over what goes into your Zip files, and what happens to files after they've been zipped.

You might prefer the Wizard if

  • you are new to computers.
  • you are unfamiliar with the Windows operating system.
  • you don't know much about Zip files, and don't want to.
  • you just want to be able to deal with downloaded archives with a minimum of fuss.

Whichever one you choose, remember that you can always switch interfaces any time or change the interface WinZip uses when it starts up.
