What is the command to prevent SEARCH from looking in compressed files
(*.cab, *.zip) and what is the command to re-enable it?



Thanks

Within ZIP Files.

Answer: Start > Run regsvr32 /u zipfldr.dll
regsvr32 /u cabview.dll

Each time you'll get a notice saying the DllUnregister succeeded.

Reverse it by omitting the /u.
 
How would I go about creating a desktop short cut to do this for me? I would
like to switch back and forth easily.

Hi open notepad and copy the first two lines, save as unable zip.bat
to the desktop.

To enable zip, do the same with the same two lines, only take out /u
and save as enable zip.bat

When you want to change, click on the corresponding batch file on your
desktop


Hope this helps.
 
I figured it out.

Thanks
Bruce
