I wonder if re-registering the zipfldr.dll or some other dll broke it. Do you have other zip utils installed? Thanks for your efforts. I hope you get it to work again.

That is weird. Try logging out and logging back in, or even rebooting.

don't add the extension: C:\copy foo.zip\*.* myfoo should be C:\copy foo\*.* myfoo Yeah, I had tried that, too. No luck. I can type foo.zip by itself - it opens in the explorer window of course. Are you sure you don't have some virtual folder extension installed? Or perhaps a cmd.exe replacement that has native zip support? I thought that there might be a command line switch for cmd that would enable zip support, but I haven't found any. Thanks for the fast reply.

You must have some special extensions installed that allow the COPY command to work with zip folders. I've tried the copy command on XP Pro and Server 2003 R2 and it does not work. I created a zipped folder called foo.zip and put some files in it Next, I created a normal folder called myfoo. C:\copy foo.zip\*.* myfoo The system cannot find the path specified. I'm trying to use a batch script to unzip files as well. I guess I'll just have to download and include a free unzip command line util. It seems odd that there's no way to do this natively within XP/Server 2003.
