7-zip

When it comes to desktop applications that make your life easier 7-zip is a mong my top picks. It’s nothing fancy, it’s a simple archive application that allows you to pack and unpack files. The good part is that it is extremely small, can handle almost everything from .zip and .rar to the weirder archives. Gotten some sort of weird file you need to unpack? Just install 7-zip and right click on the file and chose unpack here. It’s as simple as that. It also has it own format for packing called .7z. You can find 7-zip here.
