That helped. For anyone else wanting to do this, you can find the .zip key settings from my XP machine below.

Pretty painful switching between .zip and .jar. I couldn't figure out any easier way to merge the .zip info into the .jar key. If anyone else can, please post it here.

Finally, two tips:

Note the space in "Content Type".
I had to restart my computer (possibly because I tried to open a .jar before I had everything 100% correct).

.jar
  (Default) REG_SZ CompressedFolder
  Content Type REG_SZ application/x-zip-compressed
  PerceivedType REG_SZ compressed

  CompressedFolder REG_KEY
    ShellNew REG_KEY
      Data REG_BINARY
                    50 48 05 06 00 00 00 00
                    00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
                    00 00 00 00 00 00

  OpenWithProgids REG_KEY
    (Default) REG_SZ not set
    CompressedFolder REG_SZ

  PersistentHandler REG_KEY
    (Default) REG_SZ {098f2470-bae0-11cd-b579-08002b30bfeb}
