    is this more of a syntax question, or the wrong applicaiton, i wonder.

    i use the command line version of 7zip, which is 7za.exe;

    are you using the GUI version? I'm not sure that will work/supress any prompts.

    :

    http://www.7-zip.org/download.html

    http://downloads.sourceforge.net/sevenzip/7za920.zip

    and this would be a typical commands:

    --Zip a file

    "C:\DataFiles\7zip_CommandLine_7za465\7za.exe" a C:\DataFiles\myZipFile.zip C:\DataFiles\SandBox_2011-07-25.bak -y

    --unzip a file:

    "C:\DataFiles\7zip_CommandLine_7za465\7za.exe", e HDS_9.0.4.7.zip -o C:\DataFiles\*.* -y
