    Question How can I search thru zip files

    To be more precise I want to search all the zip files in a folder for a specific file without running winzip on each one to see whats in it. anyone know of a utility that does this?

    The Windows Find will do that for you. Just tell it to look for "files containing text" and point it to the right folder. I use it often for looking inside .cab files as well as .zip files. Can't beat something that's already on your machine.
    I think I know just enough to know how much I don't know... I think...
