How to prevent xp to display zipped files as folder

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance


In my xpsp2, *.zip files are shown as folder, and going into the
folder shows the content (all files in that zip.)

I find that very irritating, as several folders have several zip
files, and entire folder list left pane in my windows explorer
window gets consumed ( I have not kept it full screen).

How can I tell it NOT to show zip files as folder?
