Keep Search from searching inside zip files

I want to be able to search a folder tree and not have to
see every file that is zipped inside the zip files in
that tree. I just want to see a zip file a simple file,
not a folder of files. Is there any way to set up Search
to report the zip files as a simple file without
reporting the files inside the zip files?

Thanks in advance.
Gary

Use Start > Run and type:
regsvr32 /u zipfldr.dll

NOTE: Under most conditions, this should stop search from looking inside of
zip folders but it will also break the builtin zip/unzip tools.

To reverse the process, use Start> Run and type:
regsvr32 zipfldr.dll
