Is it possible to open ZIP, RAR, ... files with the associated program??
In other file managers the associated program is started by holding the CTRL, or SHIFT key during dblclick.

the crux is ZIP files that for XP open within x2 (RAR will always open externally)
you have 2 options: either suspend zipfolders altogether (see old FAQ 25) or right-click and pick "open with". Actually there's a 3rd option, you can have an explicit user command like >winzip_or_whathaveyou "$N" and use it instead of hitting enter (you can associate keyboard shortcuts to user commands, too)
