Shawn this is great I asked for this solution very early on and I can see why it took some working out!
As we could'nt find a solution I found a new work practise I access all my zip and rar file folders via a Favorites shortcut which takes out the explorer view giving me access to single archives without the elongation. best barney |

LOL, you're welcome Barnet and OEM.
I was sitting there scratching my head as to why it would work in Vista and not in Windows 7 when they were the same registry entries when I noticed that the owner was now TrustedInstalled in Windows 7. It turned out to be nothing more than a permissions issue that taking ownership of the registry key first fixed. |

Well, it worked after I went through the entire registry and deleted every instance of {0CD7A5C0-9F37-11CE-AE65-08002B2E1262} after taking ownership of the cab and zip things.
Now if I could just get rid of that anoying task bar popup with all the windows for each program that is open in it with the X to close any of them. I hate that thing. |

Hello Tannim,
I'm happy to hear that you got the Zip folders sorted. Unfortunately, the only way to remove the taskbar thumbnails is this below. ![]() Taskbar Thumbnail Previews - Enable or Disable |

Windows 7 64-bit?
Does this process need to be modified at all for 64-bit?
I'm pretty sure I followed the instructions correctly but it didn't work for me. I also looked for all occurrences of {0CD7A5C0-9F37-11CE-AE65-08002B2E1262} And deleted those as well. |

Hello Cskevint, and welcome to Seven Forums.
Yes, this is the same for both the 32-bit and 64-bit Windows 7. Did you also delete the {E88DCCE0-B7B3-11d1-A9F0-00AA0060FA31} key? If you have, log off and log on to see if it works afterwards. |

Thanks Brink. That's exactly what the issue was. I wasn't deleting {E88DCCE0-B7B3-11d1-A9F0-00AA0060FA31}. For some reason it wasn't clear to me that I needed to delete that one as well. Thanks for the help.

You're welcome Cskevint. I added a note to help avoid that.
