Power Archiver, you stupid hack of a utility, you're a lot like my
mother. Since you unzip all the files BEFORE checking for existing files
of the same name, your question is less, "Do you want to replace these
files?" and more:

"I've already spent a few minutes unzipping these several-gig files, do
you want to replace what's already there? Because it's okay if you do. I
mean, it's no big deal. If you don't want them, I can just throw them
away. You could rename them if you want; do you want to do that? Then
all this CPU time and memory won't have been wasted. No? They're
duplicates? Well, fine. But maybe you should look more closely next time
before I go through all this trouble. No, no, sorry, it's fine. Don't
worry about me."

Not to mention the explanationless "Run-Time Error" every time I try to
quit you. I'd say we should start seeing other windows unzip utilities,
but I'm afraid you would start stalking me.
