Remove Explorer Zip Handling in Vista

less than 1 minute read,

Ugh.  I’ve been using Vista for about a week now and it’s slowly annoying the heck out of me.  My cool regsvr32 /u zipfldr.dll doesn’t work anymore.  But thankfully, this post did the trick:

Simply, remove the following CSLIDs:

HKEY\_CLASSES\_ROOT\\CLSID\\{E88DCCE0-B7B3-11d1-A9F0-00AA0060FA31}
HKEY\_CLASSES\_ROOT\\CLSID\\{0CD7A5C0-9F37-11CE-AE65-08002B2E1262}

There’s just so much bloat in Vista. :-(

Now, I need to find away to get Vista to quit trying to “recognize” MP3 folders and screwing up the customizing the view with “Album”, “Artist”, “Song” columns.  *sigh*.
