its not a zip, its a dll you have to register
I have not tried this in vista but perhaps an mvp would be so kind to
confirm it for vista
You have to go to start button > run and paste this and press enter.
REGSVR32 C:\Windows\System32\zipfldr.dll
HOWEVER vista was smart enough to remove the run from the start menu... to
add it,
you must right click on the start menu, then properties,
then customize and find the run command from that list there, and add it to
the start menu
see this page that is for XP, you want to enable it of course.
