Explorer should not scan Zip-Files

[timo]

Hello,

I have a very large directory with lots of zip files.
Under XP I now have the problem that the Explorer (Not
Internet Explorer) takes about 1 Minute to show the
content of the directory. It obviously scans all the zip
files.

How can I make the explorer not to scan the Zip files, as
it was in W2K???

hoping for an answer

You can unregister the DLL that does this via the following line:

regsvr32 /u %windir%\system32\zipfldr.dll

You can register it again via the same line without the /u

If you want to use something like Winzip, you may have to re-associate zip
files with it.
