Re: Don't want to display contents of ZIP files



Hello OldGrantonian,

Turning "compressed folders" off will stop this for you. :)

Hope this helps,

I have Vista Home Premium 32-bit.

In Windows Explorer, the *contents* of ZIP files are displayed. For
various reasons, I find this distracting. I preferred the way that XP
(and earlier) displayed the file name only.

Is there any way that I can switch off this feature?
