Search for all files, but not ZIP contents?

[Julian Milano]

How do I search for all files in a tree of folders, but not files within ZIP
archives? Currently, a WinXP file search gives me files within ZIP archives,
which I do not want.

WinXP SP2

Hi Julian,

Stop Search from Scanning ZIP files:

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
