Re: How to prevent xp to display zipped files as folder

"V S Rawat" <VSRawat@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote in message news:xn0eikpxq324u9001@xxxxxxxxxxx

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?


Unregister the .zip support in Windows XP by deregistering its DLL file:

regsvr32 /u zipfldr.dll

You then lose all support for .zip files and will have to use a 3rd party tool.
