File structure of directories can be maintained in an archive. Additions to archives can also be selected from multiple directories. Files to be added or excluded from an archive can be selected manually or by using filters. Archives can be tested for integrity. Program settings can be specified as program preferences.
Configuration files can also specify parameters to be used in a zip or unzip operation.
A hard drive can have four physical partitions, they can be primary partitions, any of which one can be bootable, one partition can be an extended partition, which can contain a number of logical partitions. Any partition has 65536 clusters, this is the smallest portion a part of a file can occupy. A recovery disk can be created before doing any function with Partition-It in case of system failure. Booting the computer from this disk will allow completion of the partition process and prevent loss of data. Partition-It comes up with a menu bar and tool bar.
