re: XP 'Zip' fix doesn't work Monday, August 4, 2003 at 10:41 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by boscado (1 messages posted) The regserv didn't work by itself. I ran it and renamed zipfldr.dll, however, xp instantly created a new one. What I did was let xp create the new dll, opened it in a text editor and deleted the contents. After I saved it I reassociated and now it works. [My boss bought machines with xp on them, I use 2000. Can anyone tell me anything good about xp? It's unstable, it's slow, and the stupid rounded puffy interface is for infants. I have yet to find one improvement, but I am willing to listen.] On Wednesday, January 1, 2003 at 12:56 am, Passenger wrote: >On Sunday, November 10, 2002 at 2:52 am, Mike wrote: >I agree with PhilHT - exactly the same thing happened to me. > >Unfortunately, this solution does appear to be useless. > >I had the same problem, what I did is run the regsvr32 command and then went to c:\windows\system32 >and renamed the zipfldr.dll to zipfldr.dlo.
