    People using WinRAR. “Why would people use WinRAR?” It has more features than 7zip (password, encryption, profile presets especially).

    If you’re asking why Microsoft would include it as a format for their extremely basic compression tool built into Explorer… why not, it’s one of the top three formats.

      Eh? 7zip supports these.

      profile presets

      I have to admit, I’m not familiar with this feature.

        What I mean is more options for those features. The profiles and password tools are especially clever. (Examples: Password organizer can be locked with short master password, great for quickly decrypting archives matching ANY stored password. Profiles can quickly encrypt using specific settings, including super-long saved password without entering it.)

          Ah, I see what you mean. 7zip’s password support looks pretty simple in comparison.
