There is a free one built into windows also...not sure how good/bad it is, I always install winrar first thing on new windows installs. It's not very good, but it's enough to unzip. But I must have missed something in the problem description. The files will still be read-only in the zip file,

I never said it wouldn't store the attributes. That's exactly what it is doing. If you zip the file and then burn it to cd, it only locks the zip file. Windows xp and vista/7 seem to decide that since you are moving a file to a cd, it will lock the file from being changed. Tom's problem is

Thew reason Windows changes the flag when you move a file to a writable media, is that when you write it to a CD/DVD it becomes readable only. Once it is put on a media it must change the flag otherwise it would error out all the time when you try to change or write a file to your CD/DVD I

It's not going to do much good to keep discussing this, because as I pointed out yesterday Vista does not normally behave this way. Yes, if you view the properties on the disk it will show as read only, but after copied back to the hard drive they don't. Rather than discuss a non-existent issue,
