Hi Foxmyster,

Welcome to Vista Forums.

Did you merge the reg file in Method Two above?
Sometimes, but not often, you will need to do a restart afterwards.

Re: ZIP File Support - Restore

I'm new here. I had this problem where my zipped files will open in IE. I used both methods as mentioned, and restarted my laptop.
But apparently, I can't seem to extract the zipped files..It says the file is invalid. What should I do?

Hello Panda, and welcome to Vista Forums.

Have you tried extracting the files from the ZIP to another location like the desktop to see if it will work there instead?

Do you have this problem for all ZIP files or just this one?

As a test download the ZIP file from this tutorial to see if you can extract the shortcut from it.

Re: ZIP File Support - Restore

Hi. Thanks for the fast reply!

It doesn't work. It still says the file is invalid. This is what I get when I tried the zip file from lock-computer tutorial.
What should I do about this?
I have this problem for all zipped files.

Ok Panda,

Try running the reg file again in this tutorial above, then run the reg file in the tutorial below. Afterwards, restart the computer to see if you can open a ZIP file again.
