This simple batch file works 100% on Windows XP and beats the System File Checker.
------------------------
UNZIPFLDR.BAT =
------------------------------------------------------
regsvr32 /U ZIPFLDR.DLL
ren C:\WINDOWS\system32\zipfldr.dll ZIPFLDR.OLD
ren C:\WINDOWS\system32\dllcache\zipfldr.dll ZIPFLDR.OLD
ren C:\WINDOWS\I386\ZIPFLDR.DL_ ZIPFLDR.OLD_
--------------------------------------------------------

Obviously you didn't read the thread you are responding. This method DOESN'T WORK
since the system file checker or some process automatically REGSVR the DLL AGAIN

Joe's List / System cleanup
I think the question really was, why do you want to do this? Is it to solve a problem
or as an intellectual challenge just to see if it can be done?
Repair install /
Clean install

Thank you !! My windows explorer was regularly coughing up a fur ball when trying
to expand a directory with tons of zip files and the unregister solution combined
with your mods did the trick.
