zip files and the Windows Explorer
(their second album was rubbish)
Sometimes (I think), when a .zip file is double-clicked on, it appears in the left pane as if it were a directory (folder). More often, it appears in its own window, with the "for babies" left pane, which if you then click on the "Folders" button, turns the left pane into the one I described first - i. e. it shows the zip file as if it was a folder. What determines the behaviour? Is there, for example, a setting somewhere (registry or otherwise) that forces the zip-file-as-folder display (or the other format, for those that don't like the first)? -- J. P. Gilliver. UMRA: 1960/1985 MB++G()AL-IS-Ch++(p)Ar@T+H+Sh0!:`)DNAf The main and the most glorious achievement of television is that it is killing the art of conversation. If we think of the type of conversation television is helping to kill, our gratitude must be undying. (George Mikes, "How to be Inimitable" [1960].) |

WinXP search fix. regsvr32 /u zipfldr.dll regsvr32 /u cabview.dll I don't think I'd bother modifying the "burrow into ZIP" when double clicking on a file. Unless there was a way to associate it with 7ZIP. And since the right click menu has all the 7ZIP stuff in it, it's not that much extra work to access the file content through the 7ZIP menu it provides. Paul |

Unless there was a way [] Thanks, both, for those. Unfortunately, those seem to be ways to _stop_ the handling of zips as if folders - which I know many don't want, so the above could be useful; unfortunately, I _do_ want it, and was looking for a way to make it come on _more_ often. -- J.
