Installed on a laptop running win2k. The zip files are not associating at all with FreeCommander.
When installed on a couple of other computers, this was no problem. How can I associate files the zip files with FreeCommander.

It should be working automatically AFAIK.

I did have Powerdesk v5.0 installed before.
Maybe it is a registery issue?

Perhaps you could explain what exactly do you need - to open archive when you double click it in FreeCommander - or if you double click the archive in explorer you want to open the archive in FreeCommander?

I need the zip files to be associated with FreeCommander. There is no way to set this property through the software or going through the "Open With" in windows.
I installed FreeCommander on an XP and another Win2k, the file associations just happened.
I did take the step of uninstalling FreeCommander, rebooting the computer, and then reinstalling, but still the file associations did not take.

So you want to open the archive in FreeCommander when you double click the file in explorer? If so, I think it's not possible.

Define file association for XP:
- - open Windows Explorer
- go to Tool->Folder Options
- open the tab Folder Types
- find 'ZIP' in the list of registered file types
- select the ZIP line
- klick on Changes... button
- Open with... dialog will be opened
- klick on Browse... button and find FreeCommander.exe
- close Browse.. dialog with OK
- new line with FeeCommander.exe appears in Open with... dialog
- select the line
- activate the option "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file"
- close the dialog with OK
