Living off the land: VMware tools zip.exe

Just a quick note that any system with VMWare Tools installed on it can use the zip.exe as a ‘process tree disturbing agent’ 😉

  • Name your program unzip.exe
  • Run:
    • “c:\Program Files\VMware\VMware Tools\zip.exe” -T <name of an existing zip>

When launched with the -T option, zip.exe will execute the unzip.exe.
