Help for 7-Zip users with x64

    I recently bought a new Laptop with Win 8 64bit. I removed WinZip and download 7-Zip from MG. It would not show up in context menu. After some research I discovered I needed the x64 version which I got from File Hippo.

    As un-ziping files is such a common task, I feel it would be helpful if MG placed a link for the x64 bit version on the website.

    At least I've learned a lesson. I will now be checking publishers websites to check if they have a x64 specific version of their program, just in case.

    Hope this helps anyone else who has the same problem.

    And yes, the x64 version of 7-zip does insert itself into the context menu and works perfectly.
