While configuring the context menu "Open With" for a zip file, I
input a wrong application for opening the zip file by default.

Instead of clicking on "winzip64.exe" I clicked on "wzwipe32.exe".

Now, how do I get rid of the wrong input?

Please help if you know how. Thank you.


You might be able to remove the association with Nir Sofer's
FileTypes Manager:

There is a 32 and 64 bit version available


I thought about that when studying this problem. I don't have the OP's
program installed, but I do have 7-Zip installed. It is on the .zip "Open
with" submenu and is listed as an option for default program selection, but
"Open with" is not shown for .zip in File Types Manager, and I can't
find it in the registry.


I also have 7-Zip, but haven't set it up to open *.zip - I still use
Explorer.exe for that (it says that in FTM. The command line entry is
%SystemRoot%\Explorer.exe /idlist,%I,%L. Is yours the same?).

I do use the *.zip right-click menu entries for 7-Zip to open the
archive to see what is in it, read any "readme" file, and sometimes to
"Extract here" (which is the Desktop, but only if the *.zip archive has
4 files or less in it).
