No, I read them with 7-Zip without ext2fsd.


Thanks for confirming 7-zip works great, which a bunch of others confirmed.
Since most of us already have 7-zip installed, it's a _great_ solution!

Mine won't work but I believe that everyone else's is working where I
likely have too many of these things concurrently installed (hence the
errors I get as administrator of conflicts).

I'll uninstall everything, including 7-zip, and then re-install just 7-Zip
to run the 7-Zip GUI shortcut with Administrator privileges, to confirm for
me what I believe to be the case based on what everyone already said.

*Given that, the simple answer is that 7-zip is, IMHO, a great solution.*

If I first apologize for only testing each for a few minutes' use, for home
use, I rank the half-dozen suggestions as follows:
1. *7-zip*
http://7-zip.org/download.html
2. *Linux Reader*
https://www.diskinternals.com/linux-reader/
3. *Ext2Read*
https://sourceforge.net/projects/ext2read/
4. *Ext2Fsd*
https://sourceforge.net/projects/ext2fsd/files/Ext2fsd/0.69/
5. *Ext4Explorer*
https://sourceforge.net/projects/ext4explore/?source=directory
6. *Paragon*

NOTE: This is a _great_ example of how, together, we learn far more than we
can alone - especially when the worthless trolls stay away from the thread.
