How do we get Win-XP to stop 'seeing' ZIP files as folders?

I am tired of seeing all the .Zip files on my drive as folders in Win-XP
Explorer AND in Search. Is there any way to stop Win-XP from displaying
..Zips as folders? And to stop it from searching through all the .Zips when
it does a search. This just slows searching big time!

Disable zip folder support by running:

regsvr32 /u zipfldr.dll

To re-enable support, run:

regsvr32 zipfldr.dll
