For better system integration please read "Customisation and scripting" chapter in documentation.
It is possible to invoke most used PeaZip's functions from basically any mean capable of passing parameters as explained in application's documentation, like:
- registry entries, i.e. for integration with context menu and the new Windows 11 mini-context menu
- links, i.e. in SendTo menu
- scripts
The application is usually installed in C:\Program Files\PeaZip folder.
Scription and system integration examples are available in (peazip)\res\share\batch folder.

Due to it's frontend/backend architecture, backend executables can be freely replaced when a newer version is available (i.e. 64 bit version) as long as the new version supports the known syntax
