Try this

Start, Run, type "regsvr32 /u zipfldr.dll" without the quotes and hit ENTER. This stops Windows Explorer displaying zip files.

To reverse the process, which you may need to do from time to time, Start, Run, type "regsvr32 zipfldr.dll" without the quotes and hit ENTER.

If this by any chance the solution does not work I have found an alternative.

I guess I dont understand how anti-spyware controls explorer trying to expand zip files. Turning on and off MS antispyware doesnt seem to have any effect.

What anti-spyware programmes are you using? If none try Adaware. Observe
the results and post a further message telling us whether the problem
has gone way.

If not installed download Adaware and / or update Reference file from
http://www.lavasoftusa.com/support/download/ and use it to remove
parasites.

Upgraded from 2000 to XP Pro SP2. Explorer is real sluggish and wheezes along, looks like it continually tries to refresh itself -- takes up 5-20% CPU most of the time.

Always tries to expand ZIP files. I have a directory with lots of big ones and if I click on it, Eplorer hangs for 10-15 minutes trying to open the zip files.

Have an AMD 3500.  Should be zippy!

How do I make this thing benign like Win2K (stop taking cpu cycles all the time and stop trying to expand zip files)? Its obnixious now. Considering going back to Win2K if I cant fix it.
