Zip files in Vista

I have folders that have over 100 zip files in them. When I expand these
folders in Windows Explorer it treats the zip files as folders. I can eat
lunch in the time it takes the folder to expand.

In XP the cure was "REGSVR32 /U ZIPFLDR.DLL"
That doesn't work in Vista (5384).
Does anyone know what *does* work?
Thanks.

Re: Zip files in Vista

Ok here is your answer, what better way to spend a lunch hour than to watch
Windows Vista unzip files.
