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.

OK so would it be possible to have a quick 'using batch files for dummies' session?
I don't know what to do with the code you posted and would like to know how to use
batch files.
I assume it gets copy pasted somewhere but I am not sure where to start the copy,
where to end it, where to paste it, nor what to do with it after it is pasted.
Thanks,
Flaviss
