re: XP 'Zip' fix doesn't work Thursday, March 11, 2004 at 5:51 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Alvaro Pompeia (1 messages posted) The problem is that windows shit XP keeps some files in the following directories: C:\WINDOWS\$NtServicePackUninstall$ C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386 C:\WINDOWS\system32\dllcache C:\WINDOWS\system32 What I did is rename the file zipfldr.dll to zipfldl.dlo in first three directories above. I received a message telling me if I change some files to unknown extensions Windows XP will not function properly. I simply ignore it. I used the command: regsvr32 -u C:\WINDOWS\system32\zipfldr.dll and rename the file in this directory. It works! I am from Brazil and a portugese word that means very bad is "ruim". He we call Windows XP as RUIMDOWS!!! I sugest to use windows 2003(not the server) or better at all: LINUX!!!!!
