    Hello, i managed to restore this (windows explorer handling zip) only by choosing "explorer.exe" as default program for .zip (start, default program, look for zip, change to explorer.exe)

    I think it's more simple to do it that way.

    Hello Magissia,

    Thank you for your post. :)

    That would be fine if it was only an association issue, but it wouldn't help to undo the tutorial. Plus, the tutorial will affect all users.

    Starting from here xplorer˛ blog: How to unregister zipfolders for windows 7/8 I found the easiest way was to rename this key to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\.zip\CLSID.bak *and* this key to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CompressedFolder\CLSID.bak Doesn't show up in "Save As" either.

    Thank you MRCS.

    That is much easier to do. I've updated the tutorial for this for both ZIP and CAB files. :)

    Also, If you don't want to restart you can open task manager to kill and rerun explorer.exe

    I haven't tried the .reg files yet, but why does Enable_CAB_Files.reg contain minus signs preceding the path names unlike Enable_ZIP_Compressed_Folders.reg?
