I have a question about How do I turn off Compressed Folders (built-in support for ZIP files) in Windows Vista and XP?:

I like being able to quickly look inside .zip files in Windows Explorer, but hate the fact that I can't exclude .zip files from my searches when I KNOW the file I'm looking for isn't in a .zip file. (Sometimes searching inside .zip files can be helpful, but not often) So, how do I keep the compressed zip folders bit but leave out the zip searching bit?
