Cannot delete selected files

[cadguy]

I use the search program to locate *.bak files. The
search finds *.bak file in my zip files. I would like to
delete all the bak files but when I try to delete a file
in a zip file the program stops working.

Is there a way to delete all bak files in my zip files or
a way to disable the search routine from scanning the zip
files?

Hello there,

Stop Search from Scanning ZIP files:

Un-register the zip and cab file dlls, then re-register
them after that.

Before Search:
regsvr32 /u zipfldr.dll
regsvr32 /u cabview.dll

After Search:
regsvr32 cabview.dll
regsvr32 zipfldr.dll

Tip: Windows XP keeps a record of all files on the
hard disk so when you do a search on the hard drive it is
faster.
There is a downside to this and because the
computer has to index all files, it will slow down normal
file commands
like open, close, etc. If you do not do a
whole lot of searches on your hard drive then I suggest
turning this feature
off: Open My Computer/Right click your hard
drive/properties. Uncheck "Allow indexing service to index
this disk
for faster searches". Apply to all folders
and subfolders.
