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 also use Explorer, and yes, my code is 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).


I usually just use Explorer, but I can and have used 7-Zip on occasion.
As I mentioned, it is in the "Open with" submenu.

But getting back to the original question, I don't know how to remove it.
