Restore zip file program
I changed the program that opens my zip files, and want to change it back so
it works as zip files. What program do I tell it to "open with", and how do I find it?

Restore zip file program
Hi, Brink
Thank you for your advice. It solved part of problem I created. The zip files now open again. The icons still shows a notepad or something; not a zip folder. When I right click the "opwn with", it still shows the programs I assigned (Explorer and notepad), and there seems to be no way to delete them. Is there some way to get the folder icon back again, and get rid of those associations?

See if rebuilding the icon cache will reset the ZIP icon back to what it should be.

Hi, Brink
All fixed! Thank you so much. Also thanks to Ramesh, who had the more general file association link. That's great to know about too.
