cabview.dll file association (Fix Native Vista Support)

I had been experimenting with archive/compression programs. In the aftermath of installs and uninstalls, the (Windows Vista) native association of *.ZIP and *.CAB files has become broken.

Thanks to a post in this forum, I was able to re-associate *.ZIP folders by reading here: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/65...ile-vista.html

So, *.ZIP is fixed, but the *.CAB files association didn't seem correct, so I tried:

assoc .cab=CompressedFolder

WRONG!!

I re-applied the registry fix and it didn't return cab file support to where it had been.

... and I have returned to see if I can get some help in properly correcting native *.cab file support in Vista (Home Premium 64bit).
