re: registry edit Tuesday, December 10, 2002 at 11:57 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Fred (1 messages posted) I ran into the same problem with the registry fix. I even tried deleting zipfldr.dll but found that XP's System Restore would restore zipfldr.dll and re-associate it with .ZIP. To finally get around this I had to turn off System Restore (System Properties | System Restore Tab) and then run the registry fix "regsvr32 /u %windir%\system32\zipfldr.dll" and now I can search my harddrive without it looking through every zip file I have and my Winzip program does not have to fight to keep it's association with .zip files.
