Default Disable zip file support

I have a PAID license for winzip,so I usually just install that.

Hi,

If you disable the native ability to read .zip files, then you won't be
able to open them at all. If you want to display them as oridinary files,
you need to unzip (decompress) them.

Does anyone know how to disable Vista's inbuilt zip file support so that
they display as ordinary files?

Regards, Len

So do I, but it still doesn't affect how the files and folders are displayed
in Explorer.
