Zip file mess, argh

[Vikki]

Here is a strange problem that has only been a recent
occurance.
If I left click on a zipped file, instead of bringing up
the usual open file bit, it is making the Search for
files up instead..
I can open them if I right click then open...

I looked in my file associations, & found that the zip
file one is missing, I looked in there last week & it was
there...

Arghhhh!!

Any ideas please..

Thanks in advance

Try going to Start>Run and execute "regsvr32 zipfldr.dll" (without the quotes,
of course)

Hi Vikki,

Go to Start/Run and type in: regsvr32 /i shell32

It will clear up the first issue, as for the latter (if there even is a
latter):

Go to Start/Run and type in: regsvr32 zipfldr.dll
