how would i do this?

how would i go about removing the zip extension from my regsitry?

[list=1]
Select a .zip file
View file properties and check what type it is (for example "WinZip File")
Go to "View / Folder Options" and select "File Types" tab
Find the file type for .zip and select "Remove"
[/list=1]

Or just run regedit.exe and do it yourself :)

where are they located in the registry?

I would say Manni's idea is a quicker option, but go to start/run/regedit/edit/find/*.zip
keep hitting F3 till you find them all and delete them :eek:

I am very curious as to why you would want to though.

Another idea is to go to add/remove programs and remove Winzip.

i use winrar..


also it is because of this problem here (http://www.techiestalk.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=563)

I don't see that as a problem. I use Netscape so don't get that auto open option. I just open winzip and it shows me new files to unzip. Sheesh some people are lazy! :p

But if you prefer winrar, uninstall winzip. Easy peasy!

i dont use winzip

also i uninstalled winrar and the ext from the second post on the forum, and it still did the same problem
