A. XP provides built-in zip support so that you can open compressed files as if they were folders. However, if you use a third-party program, such as WinZip, XP's built-in zip handling might get in the way. To disable XP's zip support, perform the following steps:
Select Run from the Start menu.
Enter
regsvr32 /u %windir%system32zipfldr.dllClick OK.
Restart the computer.
