Compressed Folders

hi!
I cant find the default program to compress and uncompress folders... the
thing is that I accidentally chose to open my compressed folders with
notepad, but now i want to restore it to how it was before and i can't
because i cant find the default program installed with windows vista. I know
i can download WinZip from internet but i don't want WinZip because it's just
an evaluation copy that will expire in 40 days, I just want the default
program and the original icon to my compressed folders again... can someone
help me?

Re: Compressed Folders

you will need to grab the entries from under HKCR\.zip from a working vista
machine...that should fix it.
