Vista Ultimate 32bit
 
 

zip files automatically extract in vista temp folder!

Hi,

I'm running a Vista Ultimate 32-bit with all the latest updates.

Recently, I have noticed that whenever I re-boot the system, the zip files stored on my PC automtically extract to the Temp folder located at Users\USERNAMEAppdata\Local\Temp. For example, if the zip file name is FILENAME.zip, a temp folder is created here called Temp1_FILENAME.zip, and this folder contains the extracted contents of the original zip file.

Since I had recently installed the latest version of Google Desktop Search, I thought GDS is extracting these files since I have the Search Archives (Zip) option enabled. However, even after disabling this search option, the extracted zip files
keep appearing in the same format whenever I re-boot. This happens even after deleting the files temp files using Ccleaner or other cleaning utilities.

Any idea why this is happening, and how do I disable it? Could Windows Search be the culprit?

Look forward to any advice on this.
