| Newbie Rep Power: 7 ![]() | Re: ZIP file in Vista I have tried: to Restore Vista's Built-in Support of ZIP Files By applying your Method 1 When I double-click the zipped file to view/unzip, internet explorer launches and then that browser window maximizes, minimizes in a perpetual loop which I could only stop by shutting down / restarting the PC. Is there another way ??? ![]() thanks, altkon |

If you have a Vista installation DVD and not a Recovery (clone) DVD, then I would recommend that you do a Repair Install. It'll only take around 25 minutes. This will allow you to repair your Vista installation without losing your files, settings, and programs. How To Perform a Repair Installation For Vista Shawn |

I use it without any problems, and it supports a lot more file formats. After it is installed, run it and click Tools -> Options and Select all file formats for this program to be associated with. 7-Zip Shawn |

This also happened to me when I applied this method and it never happened before. My zip files are associated to open with IE when double clicked, then this loop happens. Don't double click it if IE is the default program. I then right clicked the file and selected Extract and it worked. However now after a reboot the extract option is gone. Why did the extract option disappear? How do I make the default program to be Vista's unzipper? I know how to Browse for the proper application but don't know what or where it is. Thanks, Jamie | ||||||||||||

By default it should be Compressed Folders, or a 3rd party ZIP program. Doing a method above in the tutorial will reset ZIP to associated back to Compressed Folders. Shawn |

| Junior Member Rep Power: 8 ![]() | Re: ZIP file in Vista Thanks for your reply Shawn. Vista's unzipper is working again however I can only use it if I right click the folder and select Extract. How do I specify Vista's decompressor to start when the folder is double clicked. I can "Select from a list of installed programs" but there's no decompressor listed. I can "Browse" but don't know where or what to look for. Thanks again, Jamie |

How to Turn Compressed Folders On or Off in Vista You want the compressed folder to be opened with Windows Explorer. (C:\Windows\explorer.exe) The Zip file is associated with Compressed Folders.
