Editorial Review of PKWare Zip Reader

From the name of this moderately useful little utility, I was supposing that I'd get to view/read the contents, but opening a .zip file with the PKWare Zip Reader simply extracts it to a folder named for said zip file. Not that it isn't handier than the XP's pedantic three-step "Extract All" option, but I was hoping for more.

PKWare Zip Reader extracts the company's SecurZip files as well, but that's the only other compression codec it understands. As far as it goes, it's a very handy utility, but it won't replace WinRAR in my toolkit anytime soon. For accuracy's sake, it should also be renamed PKWare Zip Extractor.
