zip icon changed all of a sudden

[Sachi Noma]

I use win xp home edition

All of a sudden the icon of my zip files had changed to a non-attractive
icon. I have no idea how this happened. Can someone be kind enough to
inform me how I can change back my icons to original one? I would prefer to
have icon that looks like zipper or something that resembles a lock.

Hi

Are you using the built-in XP zip option or a 3rd party program - such as
WinZip?

I am using a third party zip/unzip program similar to Winzip

Hi

If the icons have reverted to the XP ones run the following command from
Start>Run

regsvr32 /u zipfldr.dll

Then go into your zip program and make sure that .ZIP files are associated
with that program.
