Re: Still no UnZip listing
Al
I can attest that windows restore is on and has been on since I upgraded to Windows 10 way back when. Each time they roll out an update I make it a point to double check that its still on. I’ve learned to stay on top of this the hard way… Al

I consider it negligent that Microsoft doesn't have system restore running on all machines by default. It appears, it is turned off by default in Windows 10. I'm not sure if it is at all your fault because I don’t know your level of knowledge about problems and how unexpected things can happen. I do consider it to be largely Microsoft's fault or entirely, because they should not send a product into the field with a major recovery system turned off. Most people either don't know about System Restore at all or they do and they assume it is on, just as it is on by default in earlier versions of Windows.
I wasn't assuming system restore would help now but I wrote about it in case it would and because it is likely to help next time.
As far as the menu is concerned, you don't open the menu and type s. You open the menu and type the number 7. But that will only get you to or into the menu if it is there to begin with. You say there is no 7zip menu. So how do you get it added to the context menu? I don't know if this will help or if it matters. But it may be that if you installed the 32bit version of the program, it won't be added. If you uninstall it and install the 64 bit version may cause it to be added. You can see, I have no idea.
Also, if you want to try to add the old options you used to use, you can try that as well. These options were in the registry so if you want to add them again, you will have to work with the registry or find a reliable utility that will add them again.
The actual utility is still there, but your access to it was removed. List members may be able to tell you how to do this. If not, perhaps the Microsoft disability service can help you do so.

Re: Still no UnZip listing
Dave
Hello Gene,
What is my Skill level when it comes to Computers? Let's put it this way, I Should Know Better! And I do mean, I should Really know better, but like the Professional Plumber who rarely fixes his own House Plumbing until it is too late, I too am guilty of not using the advise I would give someone else. I have used Restore points before when something became Sideways, but haven't made another Restore point since, which was at least a year ago. Owch! Owch! Owch! So, I did know, but wrongly assumed, What could go wrong? And I do find this humorous, and a bit embarrassing, as I am no Newby Novice. Not a total Pro either, but I have no excuse. So, I thought I would ask the good people on this list to see if there is something I might try to fix the problem. <Laughing> But, now that my Toilet is solidly plugged up, I am unable to figure a way to get it unplugged. So, I am still open to any advise that could help, Grumpy Dave

The System Tray can be accessed with the Windows keystroke, Windows key-B, which works with NVDA or any other screen reader.

That might be true but it won't be long from now that people won't have a choice. The green movement is encouraging us to go paperless.

You can work with the system tray directly or you
can use an add-on that adds the traditional system tray dialog to your
machine. Do you want to learn how to use the system tray directly, or get
the add-on, or both?
