Editing 7-Zip (section)

==File manager==
7-Zip comes with a file manager along with the standard archiver tools. The file manager has a toolbar with options to create an archive, extract an archive, test an archive to detect errors, copy, move, and delete files, and open a file properties menu exclusive to 7-Zip. The file manager, by default, displays hidden files because it does not follow [[Windows Explorer]]'s policies. The tabs show name, modification time, original and compressed sizes, attributes, and comments ([[4DOS]] <code>[[long filename#descript.ion|descript.ion]]</code> format).

When going up one directory on the root, all drives, removable or internal appear. Going up again shows a list with four options:
* '''Computer''': loads the drives list
* '''Documents''': loads user's documents, usually at <code>%UserProfile%\My Documents</code>
* '''Network''': loads a list of all network clients connected
* '''\\.''': Same as "Computer" except loads the drives in low-level [[filesystem]] access. This results in critical drive files and deleted files still existing on the drive to appear. (NOTE: As of November 2020, access to the active partition in low-level mode is not allowed for currently unknown reasons.)
