Hi all,

I've just installed Windows XP and am very pleased with it.
Only problem i have is that in Explorer, it views .zip files
as folders. Which i dont want.
Any idea how to turn that off? I've already installed Winzip,
but that just changed the icon of the .zip files. Not the way
it is shown in Explorer.

Thank you for your help.
