Tip: Stop Search from Scanning ZIP files: Un-register the zip and cab file
dlls, then reregister them after that.
Before Search:
regsvr32 /u zipfldr.dll
regsvr32 /u cabview.dll
After Search:
regsvr32 cabview.dll
regsvr32 zipfldr.dll
If you're planning to use a third-party unzip tool such as WinZip, then the
registration part is not required. On the other hand, if you want to have
the Windows XP native Zip file support enabled, but don't want to
unregister/register each time, then use the tool available here:
Prevent Windows XP from searching inside ZIP and CAB files, without breaking
Windows XP's native ZIP / CAB support:
http://windowsxp.mvps.org/nofindinsidezip.htm
Download the NoFindInsideZip utility (~11KB) and save to Desktop.
Double-click the file to run it. Remove the checkmark near the Zip and Cab
file options and then click Apply. Close the utility. This prevents Windows
XP Search companion from looking inside Zip and Cab archives when performing
a file search. Note that the file association settings are not modified in
any way, and they remain intact. You do NOT need to use the utility each
time when you perform a file search.

Hi,
How to configure XP Pro File manager search behaviour?
When generating folder - and it's subfolder file list, I don't want the
unpacked contets of zip files, but only the list of names zip files itself.
