Stop Windows "Search" from looking in .zip files

How can I get search to treat a .zip file as just a
single object? It's searching inside the file, and
returning misleading results.

there is a reg patch out there that can change this, google for it; I'd
bet Kelly's site is one place that has it:

BTW, the fix MAY also disable XP's built in handling of zips, but if you
have WinZip installed that's not a real problem.
