WebSiteam released a handy small program giving ability to explore archived files distributed on the Web. As soon as you discover the contents you can run any file not having to unpack the whole package.

The regular algorithm of dealing with archived contents assumes downloading, unzipping, finding (or not finding) what you look for, and erasing the rest. Considering this, all those packages are much of a pig in a poke as you can't predict what you are downloading before you extract the contents. Now you can get rid of unnecessary actions because WebArchivesViewer provides you with a shortcut.

WebArchivesViewer is practically a browser plug-in that puts itself in the context dropdown and shows an instant view of the files and folders packed in an archive. The procedure is actually very simple. You only have to right click on the hyperlink to a package. After that you choose the corresponding context menu item and WebArchivesViewer displays the contents in a dialog. And there's even more to that - you are able to run those files by means of your everyday programs. (Obviously, the described won't do with password ...
... protected archives.)

Yet, there are a few things to add to wish list. WebArchivesViewer is only compatible with the IE so it's completely of no use for FireFox and Opera fans. The compatible archive formats are ZIP and RAR. They're surely the most popular ones but the list could be more extensive.

All in all, WebArchivesViewer can't be called an ultimate time saver but it might be practical for those who often has to work with downloading archived files. After all, it's worth giving it a try, besides, it's totally free to use.
