Disable Zip Folders in Vista
Written by Christian on August 17, 2008 – 11:10 amThe commands, given in this article, will disable or enable the ZIP Folder functionality in Windows Vista
To disable Vista’s ZIP functionality, do the following:
Click start > Run, and type: regsvr32 /u %windir%\system32\zipfldr.dll
<ENTER>
That’s all. The ZIP functionality in Vista is now disabled. You can enable the ZIP folders again by doing the following:
Click start > Run, and type: regsvr32 %windir%\system32\zipfldr.dll
<ENTER>
To disable Vista’s ZIP functionality silently, without the notification popup, do the following:
Click start > Run, and type: regsvr32 /u %windir%\system32\zipfldr.dll /s
<ENTER>
As you see, it’s not all that difficult to disable ZIP folders in Vista, but it does make your Vista milliseconds faster on a lifetime :)
