WinXP - Stop searching in Zip files

Posted on November 6, 2006, 2:29 am by E-junkieChef under Tips, Tutorials, Guides & How-Tos

Windows XP treats ZIP files as folders. This is an issue when you are doing a search and you specify "Search subfolders". To turn this behavior off, you can go to Start Menu > Run, type regsvr32 /u zipfldr.dll and press enter.

To revert things as they were, type regsvr32 zipfldr.dll and press enter.
