login123 Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Yes, I think so (on this win xp computer). They're required for 7-Zip to appear in the menu when you right click a file or folder. They don't hurt anything. On this win xp computer they don't slow anything down. The CCleaner SLIM version is always released a bit after any new version; when it is it will be HERE :-) Pssssst: ... It isn't really a cloud. Its a bunch of big, giant servers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators hazelnut Posted June 4, 2014 Moderators Share Posted June 4, 2014 I have them on my context menu too Support contact https://support.ccleaner.com/s/contact-form?language=en_US&form=general or support@ccleaner.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan_B Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Definitely NOT needed. I do NOT have 7zip as a startup, and it NEVER runs until I give it a job to do. File Associations are ALL that I have, and that is sufficient that when using Windows Explorer :- Double click on a *.ZIP will instantly launch "7-Zip Portable" ready to unzip the file, after which 7-zip continues to run until I close it ; alternatively Right Click Context menu includes "Open With..." that has amongst its options "7-Zip Portable", and what happens next is something I have never investigated.

Moderators Andavari Posted June 4, 2014 Moderators Share Posted June 4, 2014 I have it also, and although they aren't necessary to the operation of 7-Zip they do however make it quicker and easier to use by just right-clicking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
login123 Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 I didn't know if 7-zip would work OK without those entries.In any case, all that extra clicking just wears me out.

Alan_B Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 they do however make it quicker and easier to use by just right-clicking. I find it easier and quicker to double click with my index finger on the left button than to use my third finger to right click. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators mta Posted June 4, 2014 Moderators Share Posted June 4, 2014 so, in short @saurabhdua, you can delete them if you want, just means you take 7Zip out of the Context Menu. Backup now & backup often.It's your digital life - protect it with a backup.Three things are certain; Birth, Death and loss of data. You control the last.

Moderators Nergal Posted June 4, 2014 Moderators Share Posted June 4, 2014 so, in short @saurabhdua, you can delete them if you want, just means you take 7Zip out of the Context Menu. Can they also be disabled via 7-zip's GUI? ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF. Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark) ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.

Seems a bit better for the original poster to try that before deleting with a third party software, even if it is ccleaner, don'cha think ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF.

I have those entries on here, still 7-zip runs no process until I right click and start it. Makes no change in OS statup time. Here is a question if anybody knows. Since I have those registry entries, I can right click a folder and 7-zip it (compress it). If I didn't have those registry entries, how would I zip that folder?

Moderators Andavari Posted June 5, 2014 Moderators Share Posted June 5, 2014 login123, you'd need to do so via the 7-Zip File Manager (aka 7-Zip GUI). In the GUI go to the folder location, highlight it and click the Add button. To extract from or add to an archive you'd then have to do it via the GUI, since you'd have no right-click options.

login123 Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 OK. Thanks. I just installed it and used it as is out of the box, so didn't know. Was I right about that above, that 7-zip runs no process until I click it and start it?

Alan_B Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Wrong. I use the Portable version of 7-Zip, but chose to accept violation of true portability by allowing it to make a context menu entry and to open when I double clip a *.ZIP file. As soon as I double click a ZIP the Windows Task Manager shows at the top of the Processes page 7zFM.exe 11912 kBytes Working ... 7-ZipPortable.exe 9484 kBytes Working They both clear within 3 seconds of closing the 7-Zip GUI.

login123 Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 OK, got it. But what I was talking about is when 7-zip is not being actively used. I have it just regularly installed, as a replacement for Winzip which got expensive. As far as I can see, there is no process running until I manually start 7-zip. In other words, I can't see that 7-zip runs anything in the background when it isn't active. In other words, it doesn't start until I tell it to, nor does it run anything at startup. That was the reasoning behind post #2 above. That and the notion that one simple right click is about the easiest way to call it up. Is there some process initiated by 7-zip that runs all the time or runs at startup? If there is I shall hang just my head and slink away.

Moderators mta Posted June 6, 2014 Moderators Share Posted June 6, 2014 you are right @login123, no 7Zip process is running UNTIL you click on the context menu entries or start the 7Zip File Manager. doesn't make any difference as to whether those context menus are present or not.

login123 Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 OK. Thanks, I use an old version of Process Explorer by Sysinternals to see whats happening. Thought I was missing something. This system is actually a fast old dinosaur, I try to avoid too many startup items.
