Indeed, I had the same problem with PowerArchiver 6.1, XP and that regsvr tip. After carrying out the regsvr command, zip folders stopped appearing but double-clicking on a zip file caused it to open the zip in a text editor (the default action on my box for unregistered file types). Re-installed PowerArchiver, straight over the top, and all was well. Should be the same if you just re-install Winzip in the same way. Cheers for the tip, whoever!
