Winzip and compressed (zipped) folders

[Funmi Owoade]

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could help me with this. I
installed the winzip application and it overrode the
inbuilt compressed (zipped) folders utility in WinXP. I
have now uninstalled Winzip and while I still have the
functionality of zipped folders under the right -click
SendTo menu, it has disappeared from my right-click New
menu. When I right-click and want to create a new zipped
folder that option does not appear. I was just wondering
if and how I could edit the registry (or whatever else)
to get this option back. Thank you.

To restore the native Windows XP default ZIP behavior:

Click the Start button, click Run

type: regsvr32 zipfldr.dll

then click the OK button.

I used this on a friends PC and it worked great.
