Unzip utility missing


Trying to unzip a folder in VISTA but the utility seems to be missing.

I read:

http://www.winhelponline.com/article...ows-Vista.html

And the irony here is, you have to UNZIP the ZIP fix.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hello Neauxbunny,

This may be able to help you restore the built-in ZIP feature in Vista for you.

ZIP File Support - Restore

Hope this helps,
Shawn

The zipped file you want is a reg file, shown below.
Right-click on your Desktop and select 'New' > 'Text Document'.
Copy and paste the following into it, save as Zip.reg
Right-click zip.reg and select 'Merge'.

Re: Unzip utility missing

The ZIP fix I see on that page is not in a zip so does not need
unzipping.
