ZipWave

ZipWave is an easy to use visual archive utility with support for 15-plus popular formats (ZIP, CAB, ARJ, RAR, LHA, TAR, GZ, ACE, JAR, ZOO, UUE, and so on). It features functions such as an archive explorer (arborescence), the option to browse archives displaying a preview of graphics files (in 30-plus well-known formats), an archive converter, a search engine, support for batch processing (great to extract and install patchs or games for examples), advanced manipulations (create, move, delete, add, rename, and so on), content printing, multidisk spanning, self-extracting archive creation, installation of the content of an archive, content exporting (TXT, HTML, and CSV formats are supported), image and HTML integrated viewers, password encryption, support for antivirus programs, Windows shell integration, MAPI support (send archive via email), complete documentation, the option to edit multiple archives at the same time, and drag-and-drop technology. ZipWave is fine for beginners but advanced enough for pros to use, as well. (screen interface and documentation are available in both English and French).
