How can I change the default program to open ZIP files?

original title: open .zip files

I changed the default mode of opening zip files somehow. My laptop now wants to use something other than the Windows Explorer to navigate to the zip files. I tried to "Browse" to Windows Explorer, but it will not find...

Zip files still show with compressed folder icon?

Try re-registering the DLL that controls how the Zip files are open.  Click Start and in the search for field type

Regsvr32.exe /u zipfldr.dll

Press ENTER.  Click Start, then in the type field search

Regsvr32.exe zipfldr.dll

Press ENTER.  See if that fixes things.

  • How can I change the default folder to upload a file?

    Hello:

    I don't know if this question is compared to Windows or my e-mail provider (Cox).

    When I try to uplaod (attach) a file to my email, a "dialog box" Windows

    opens and allows me to select what subdirectory (folder) to download the

    file and what file to download.  When this dialog box opens, it always 'Defaults '.

    in the Documents folder under my user name: -.... Username\Documents.

    Above left, there are a few buttons in a vertical column that allow me to

    switch of subdirectories by simply clicking on them; for example, clicking on a button

    named Desktop, change my current directory in ------...------. Username\Desktop.

    Is there a way I can change the path of the "Default" directory as well as once

    I have gp to uplaod a file, it automatically comes up with ------...------. Username\Desktop ?

    Thank you

  • How can I change the default topics listed in Windows Explorer?

    When I look at the files in Windows Explorer there are positions that I find little use for me. I would like to change the default headings listed to display only those that I use most often as update, size, Type and Date of creation. How can I change the default settings for securities so that these topics, such as tags and side are not displayed?

    To change the headers, right-click on the header bar, and click more.  You will see a list of options to be included in the header, and you can place about to adapt to your desires.  But they will not stick unless you modify the template for this type of file.  Procedures for this follow-up.

    Here's how to change the default template for a folder: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/70819-windows-explorer-folder-view-settings.html.  Default behavior is to select the model based on the first type of file placed in the folder (you must choose something).  Vista sets the folder type template according to what are the types of files in the window and the settings display window Explorer. This will show you how reset the display settings of Windows Explorer folder (which is what I think you want), disable Automatic folder Type discoveryand increase the view of the folder cache to have Vista don't forget not the display, model of file type settings, the size or the position of a window for when it was still closed to the location of specific path.

    It does not work with the Sub record under, Open with, open in a new tab (Internet Explorer), etc... dialog windows of type through the good File menu bar item. These don't seem to be able to have their size or their position to recall. For the latter, you can use the free program http://autosizer.en.softonic.com/ to resize them.

    Here is another article on how to modify the columns in Windows Explorer and sort in Vista: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/108665-column-customize.html.  This will show you how Add, Remove, move, change the widthand change the sort order of the columns in Windows Explorer in the way that you want.

    Here is another article on how to change the display of the default folders in Vista (but she argues, it is not a perfect solution and can revert to the previous behavior is not as good as the two prior links provided: http://news.cnet.com/8301-13880_3-10019957-68.html.)

    I hope this helps in your situation.

    Good luck!

    I posted a style rule to shrink the tiles, which allows several of them on the page, but naturally reduces their legibility. You can experiment with the dimensions to find a look that works for you.

    https://userstyles.org/styles/106326/shrink-new-tab-thumbnails

    I use the Stylish extension to experiment because of its preview function that allows me to see the effect quickly. You can install it from the site of modules, then after restart of Firefox while searching for his "S" icon in the toolbar to manage Styles so you can edit and experiment.
