Add "File Roller"/"Archive Manager" to right-click on Desktop

[Dave M G]

Kerry, Duncan, Vincent,

Thank you all for responding.

Funny how we tend to see things how we expect. I kept expecting to be 
able to start a new archive by clicking on the desktop, so much so that 
I never noticed the option being available when one right clicks on a 
file or folder.

In any case, the advice for making files available with a right click on 
the desktop, as provided by Kerry, will help in other regards. I'm 
thinking maybe I could right click and create a new OpenOffice document.

Thank you for your time and help.
