CompressedZip Icon

Hello, I've read all of the threads on reassociating .zip files with
zipfixvista.reg. My problem is that I've accidentally associated my zip files
with a music program that I'm currently using. I used the reg key fixer but
the icons are still that of my music program. I uninstalled the program and
re-merged the reg key but the icons are still the same. Does anyone know if
it's possible to return the .zip file icons to the original (folder with a
zip) icon. So that I don't confuse them with my music folders? Thank you..I
will appreciate it greatly!

Hi Zip Icon,

Have you tried "Option One" here?

Re: CompressedZip Icon

In the registry editor, go to

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CompressedFolder\DefaultIcon

in the right-hand pane, what is the data for "default"? It should be

%SystemRoot%\system32\zipfldr.dll

Besides "default", are there any other values under the Name column?
