Hi John,

You can't, unless you unregister the zip files. Problem is, then you can't
open zip files. To unregister, click start/run, type "regsvr32 /u
zipfldr.dll" (without the quotes) and click ok. To reregister, run it again
without the /u.

Unless you have WinZIP installed, in which case it will do
a good job of opening zip files, like it did before SP2.

Thanks for the hint about unregistering ZipFLdr.DLL
