Viewing Zip file comments

A Zip file comment is optional text information that is embedded in a Zip file (.zip or .zipx). It is often used to describe the contents of the Zip file or to provide other information that is not in the files contained in the Zip file.

Zip comments can be displayed automatically when you open a Zip file that contains a comment. To enable this feature, open the WinZip Options window, click the Advanced group, and check the box labeled Show comments when opening Zip files.

In the Comment dialog:

• Click the Close [X] button to close the dialog.
• Click Font to specify a new display font. This does not affect the comment in the Zip file, but is retained as your preference for viewing comments in future sessions.

Tip: to edit or remove a Zip comment, open the Zip file and click Comments in the Unzip tab of the WinZip ribbon.
