I meant I extracted the pk3 from the zip that it came in.  Which is
funny since a pk3 is an uncompressed zip file.

I did copy the pk3 files, change the extension, then extracted the
.bsp files so I could make a list of the maps.  Then deleted both the
.bsp and renamed pk3 files.

I'm not sure what PowerDesk would do with an uncompressed zip file.

Speaking of which, anybody know of a good archiving program?  One
which has a built in Windows Explorer like file browser?  It would
help if it could do dual pane, also.

PowerDesk takes up far too much resources.  It's constantly refreshing
the view.
