the folders under vista copressed

Some how I changed the properties of the files compressed, my options are limited to word, explorer, wordpad...

What is the default properties for the compressed files?  I tried Explorer and when I try to open the existing file it creates an infinite loop.

Fix file zip file in Vista go to http://www.mydigitallife.info/2008/06/22/reset-and-fix-broken-windows-vista-file-ext-and-type-associations-include-exe-com-sys-zip-lnk-folder-drive/ and select the Zip option in the menu and run it.  Who should restore the file associations default for Vista zip files.

Here is a link to how to restore Vista zip file association: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/65254-zip-file-support-restore.html this should restore for compressed files zip file association and hopefully remove of open file (but which may take another measure).

Here is another link on how to enable and disable the files compressed in Vista: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/93827-zip-file-compressed-folders.html.

Here is a link on how to restore default binding settings in Vista: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/233243-default-file-type-associations-restore.html. This should also restore default associations of open files that include no zip.

Here are some additional links that may be useful if the three above do not resolve the problem: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/91920-unassociate-file-extention-type.html, http://www.mydigitallife.info/2008/06/22/restore-and-reset-file-association-in-windows-vista-back-to-original-default/, http://www.mydigitallife.info/2008/06/22/reset-and-fix-broken-windows-vista-file-ext-and-type-associations-include-exe-com-sys-zip-lnk-folder-drive/and http://www.winhelponline.com/articles/105/1/File-association-fixes-for-Windows-Vista.html.

I hope this helps.  Good luck!
