Hello richard.. I did a little search on google, and found the solution for
you.. as I suspected they have changed
they way from XP to Vista.. read here the solution
http://www.tabletquestions.com/windo...zip-files.html
This line may break so copy paste it in your browser..
the solution is this one:::
"Start menu
Type "command" in the search box
Then right click on "Command Prompt" as is now shown above in the menu
and select "Run as Administrator"
In the command window type
assoc .zip=CompressedFolder
That will restore .zip files to their original Windows Explorer
associations."
Hope this helps..
