Allie, I have done the same thing for the same reasons.  Went back to
WinZip.

That's certainly one way. Personally, I just right click on the icon
and uncheck "Show Zip folders" (I'm using ZipMagic 2000, BTW). In
fact, if I'm loading ZipMagic at startup, I have it start up disabled.
Then I only enable it when I need it. It works very well that way, and
I don't have the kind of problem Homesick reported

Buggy? I haven't found that.

Monolithic? What do you mean.

I've been more than happy with ZipMagic. It was well worth the
investment.
