How do I make it use 7-Zip when opening a .zip file?

I want WinSCP to use 7-Zip when opening a ZIP file instead of using File Explorer.

Do you mean that you want WinSCP to open double-clicked file in 7-Zip? Is 7-Zip the default application for .zip files on your machine? How do .zip files open in Windows File explorer? If you to use 7-Zip with .zip files, change the default .zip application in Windows Settings. I you want WinSCP to behave differently than Windows File Explorer, you can change it in preferences:

I’ve tried setting it in the editors page but it still used file explorer.
My default is file explorer but I don’t wanna change that cause I only use 7-zip to edit files in archives (which is what I wanna do in WinSCP).

You need to "Edit" the file, not "Open" for the settings to take effect. You can make the "Edit" be the default double-click action (what it actually it):

Tried doing this, now it just opens it up in Notepad++ even though I've set .zip and .gz to use 7zFM.exe

Fixed it! Learned that the order of the custom editors matters. Thank you for your help!
