    Windows 8 Clear Windows inbuilt zip password store

    Hi, thanks for the reply. It seems to remember the password even if the zip file is closed (inc closing down windows explorer). I think you are saying that windows in-built zip is not very secure. Can you recommend an alternative (I dont have windows pro)?
