Hi,

He needs to expand his own copy of zipfldr.dll from the I386 folder on the
hard driver to the system32 folder. This is not Winzip, but rather a native
zip utility. The I386b folder is a cache of the original system files. Tell
him to start/run msconfig, click on "expand file" (general tab)

File to expand: zipfldr.dll
From: C:\I386
To: C:\Windows\system32

The C:\I386 may instead be C:\Windows\I386, depends on the installation. If
so, change the "from" line accordingly. This assumes a default installation
to C:\Windows. If your installation is in a different folder, such as
C:\Winnt, change the "To" path accordingly. Reboot when finished, then rerun
the regsvr32 registering command.
