I would like to to search for files but not include searching all of my zip files in my directories
I can't find an option to stop searching zip files

Thanks,
 
From "PC Magazine", May 18, 2004, page 82: Item - Stop Win XP from Searching
Within ZIP Files

Solution: Start > Run regsvr32 /u zipfldr.dll and/or regsvr32 /u cabview.dll

Each time, you should get a notice that DllUnregister succeeded. Computer
must be rebooted.

These two changes can be undone by running regsvr32 again without the /u

Search will no longer search ZIP or CAB files if you do both.
