file search -how to disable searching thru zip & cab files

does anyone know how to disable file search from going thru zip &
cab files, when I'm looking for a file & just want to do a simple file

Hi,

Un-register the zip and cab file dlls, then re-register them after that. Go
to Start/Run and type in:

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

After Search:
regsvr32 zipfldr.dll
regsvr32 cabview.dll

Hiya,
I tried this approach and it worked well for me. A couple
of comments.

After re-registering the dlls I had to log off and back on
before zip and cab files would be searched.

I put the commands in a .bat files and added the /s option
to suppress the message boxes.

Cheers
