| Vista Ultimate x64 | How to make the ZIP files open with the default Compressed (Zipped) File Recently I've associated the ZIP files with WinRAR. Now I want it to open with the default Compressed (Zipped) File (and make the icon change). To do this I just need to go to Open With -> Make this program the default. The problem's that I can't find the location of the default Compressed (Zipped) File (a program). Can anyone give me its path (location)? |
