Don't mean to make a problem for you, just seems more than a few people will
try to use XP native to unzip it, not be able to, & give up. I'm not
familiar with Directory Opus, but looking at their website I wonder if
maybe you accidentaly left encryption on as a default? Probably not, just
occured to me from their online doc:
"Ask for encryption and compression settings when copying files into ZIP files:
This option selects whether Opus should prompt you for settings whenever you copy
files into the ZIP archive."
