File 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

Hi Timo,

regsvr32 /u zipfldr.dll
regsvr32 /u cabview.dll

To restore:

regsvr32 zipfldr.dll
regsvr32 cabview.dll

Start - Run the line
regsvr32 /u zipfldr.dll

That will remove 'search in zip files' and will also disable the
facility to open a zip file as if it were a folder - you would need a
third party tool like WinZip
