Help change .zip default action from Explore to Open
When I double click a .zip file in Vista, the default action is to Explore the file in the same window. Is there a way to change the default Explore action to Open so that when I double click a .zip file, it opens it in a new window? Thanks -- genesis0x0 |

Help change .zip default action from Explore to Open
Hello Genesis, The default ZIP handler in Vista treats a ZIP folder like any other folder, so using the tutorial below to set to open folders in a new window should work for this as well. However, it will affect all folder as well. http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/91...ew-window.html Hope this helps, Shawn genesis0x0;1217232 Wrote: When I double click a .zip file in Vista, the default action is to Explore the file in the same window.
