Switch Interface Dialog

The Switch Interface dialog box is displayed when you start WinZip® with the Wizard interface and close it while using the Classic interface, or vice versa. This dialog box gives you a chance to control whether WinZip will start in Wizard or Classic mode next time you run WinZip.

Using the Switch Interface dialog

• If you want WinZip to start next time with the Wizard interface, click Next time start WinZip with the Wizard interface.
• If you want WinZip to start next time with the Classic interface, click Next time start WinZip with the Classic interface.
• Click Return to WinZip to close the dialog and return to WinZip.

Suppressing the Switch Interface dialog

If you want WinZip to always close without displaying the Switch Interface dialog, even if you have changed interfaces, check the checkbox labeled Do not display this dialog again. If the dialog is suppressed, WinZip will always start with the original interface--the one you started with this time--unless you change the startup interface as described below.

If you change your mind and want the Switch Interface dialog back, you can restore it from either Classic mode or the Wizard:

• In the Wizard, click Options in the Welcome panel, click the Misc tab, and check Show "Switch Interface" dialog box.
• In Classic mode, choose Configuration from the Options menu, open the Miscellaneous tab, click the Restore all caution messages button, and click OK. Note that this will restore all caution messages, not just the Switch Interface dialog.

Changing the startup interface

You can always change the startup interface, regardless of whether or not the Switch Interface dialog is enabled. To do this:

• In the Wizard, click Options in the Welcome panel, choose the Misc tab, and click either Next time start WinZip with the Wizard interface or Next time start WinZip with the Classic interface.
• In Classic mode, choose Configuration from the Options menu, click the Miscellaneous tab, and check or uncheck Next time start with the Wizard interface. If the box is checked, WinZip will start next time with the Wizard interface; if it is not checked, it will start next time with the Classic interface.
