Anyone know how to tell the Windows Explorer "Search" tool not to look
inside archives such as zip and cab files?

TIA - Bob

If I'm not mistaken, it won't do that if you've unregistered Windows
native support for those file types. The easiest way to do that is to
install some program that handles then, such as Winzip or the free
IZ-Arc.
