Windows XP pro
I have just installed Win XP Pro via the Win XP Upgrade.
Zip Files - Compressed (zipped) Folders problem
When I double click on a zip file Win XP immediately displays a dialog
box and starts to unzip the file and then install if there is a
"Setup.exe"
There are several option boxes:
Unzip to:
Overwrite files without prompting:
When done unzipping open: setup.exe
All 3 of the boxes have check marks.
I am unable to find a way to change the boxes to "UNCHECK" those
options. The dialog box will net let me change anything. The unzip is
going so fast that all I'm able to do is try to click on an option, and
when doing so, presents another option - TO ABORT. Then it quits and is
the same if I try anything else.
This is a serous problem - it automaticaly starts the install
(Setup.exe)
- as I need to review the files for information so that I can decide
whether or not I want the program installed.
Please advise how to be able to change the selected options (UNCHECK).
If there is no solution - then is there a way to disable this
BUILT-IN handling of Zip files? So that I may open them with another
program?
I have noted that posted on the internet is a method to diable this
feature, but would like to try to use the "Built-In" Zip feature of
Win XP for awhile to see if is satisfactory before I disable it using
the procedure found on the internet, if it works.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Procedure I found was:
If you wish to use another program to work with ZIP files, you should
first
disable Windows's built-in ZIP integration:
1. Go to Start . Run.
2. Type the following at the prompt and click OK when you're done:
regsvr32 /u %windir%\system32\zipfldr.dll
3. The change will take effect immediately, but you may have to restart
Windows for all traces of the built-in ZIP support to disappear.
If, at any time, you wish to re-enable Windows XP's built-in ZIP
support,
just follow these steps:
1. Go to Start . Run.
2. Type the following at the prompt and click OK when you're done:
regsvr32 %windir%\system32\zipfldr.dll
3. The change will take effect immediately, but you may have to restart
Windows for all traces of the built-in ZIP support to once again become
available.
