Resetting .zip association

I installed WinRAR the other day and accidentally set it as the default program to open .zip files. I would rather just have them open in Explorer as they do by default. Can someone tell me how to set it back?

Ahh Thank you that worked nicely. However the icon is still the same, I guess that will change after a reboot?

Hello Philnolan,

If it does not, then you can use this to restore the ZIP file association and icon back to default.
