    I'd like to have Archive Utility unzip folders since it does batch work, unlike Extraction Utility in Windows, and why not use it, if I can, instead of installing unzip. It doesn't appear in the list of Mac apps.

    Hi,

    Yes, you can do that. Just place your Archive Utility to the /Application folder. Then, use Populate menu in the Applications menu of the Parallels Desktop to create Windows helper application for your Archive Utility in gust Windows.

    I don't know what app you would like to use but if you like to use Mac OS X built in utility then it resides in /System/Library/CoreServices folder as BOMArchiveHelper.app. To use it in windows just copy it to the /Application folder and Populate.

    Best regards,
    Alexander
