Nope, you are exactly right xinh2.  A lot of Stardocks programs are like that, for instance a .wba (Windowblinds) file for can have the same thing done to it, rename to .zip and open it up.  

QUOTING the Title

I cannot believe how excited I am over being able to open a file. I have pulled my hair out trying to install *.dockzip files for objectdock. I researched and read volumes of forums, blogs and tech pages and trying every suggestion I came across im my quest to figure out how to open these files.

I may be wrong but what was said makes it look like he/she has been at this for quite some time.

AGAIN Quoting Title

For anyone still fighting the *.dockzip battle, you have to get WINZIP to fight your battle with the *.dockzip bear. I have included the link for you.

This person just joined, makes it sound like the problem has been a on going thing with them and no offense meant and also again I may be wrongThere are answers to what to do with dockzip files in the forums and not to hard to find. This looks like it's a spam link thing to me for winzip. Just say-in as I really don't like spam links to push something.

Thanks for the quick action on that Jafo. I knew immediately it was a clever ploy to spam the members here and it ticked me off that the spammer thinks we are so stupid and gullible.

It's just as well. It's been a looong time since I got excited about unzipping something.

unless something was caught in the zipper.

P.S. This is a Forum issue?

Dockzip file is not a renamed zip file, Jeff created it as a proper file type. It cannot be opened by any zip program, the only way to be able to open a dockzip file is with version 1.5 to 1.9 of Objectdock. Addressing this, it put the contents in the correct files, If Byrlyne meant it put them in the proper folders, ie. backgrounds in backgrounds folder, icons in images folder, again only Objectdock would be able to do this, a zip proggie would not know where to put the different items as it is not programmed to.
