some personal, more technical – by Thomas Einwaller
Some weeks ago I wrote a post about how to disable the zip file handling of Windows XP. I found out that Windows somehow re-enables this feature and I had to unregister the dll again and again. Today I got completely rid of this “feature” by deleting the zipfldr.dll file.
To do so you first have to delete the backup of this file in C:\WINDOWS\system32\dllcache. Then make sure that you do not use the Windows Explorer to list zip files and delete the file from C:\WINDOWS\system32. If the dll is loaded try to restart and delete the file from the command line.
Now I am able to register my preferred program for opening archives (which is WinRAR) as the default program for zip files.
