How to unregister zipfldr.dll in Unattended XP?

[argon007]

I know it is a Zipped files as folder in Windows XP, but I don't want that function because I will install PowerArchiver to unzip Zipped files (How to say? PA will support 120 formats (zip, rar, and more)), then how to unregister zipfldr.dll in Unattended XP?

one minute search on the forum...

one minute of my time to please you...

Please do so next time...use the search function and set it later as 30 days...

To switch it off open the Run box and type REGSVR32 /U ZIPFLDR.DLL

here you go

EDIT: you beat me to it by a pinch....

In any case, the command I use during my uA installs is this:

regsvr32 /u /i /n /s zipfldr.dll

To understand what each of those switches do, type "regsvr32" into a CMD box.

No, I don't mean that... I mean when I make unattended XP CD and make an answer file, how to write for unregistering zipfldr.dll?

I know "open the Run box and type REGSVR32 /U ZIPFLDR.DLL" but how to write for unregistering zipfldr.dll in Unattended XP? Thanks for answering.

I have the following in my RunOnceEx.cmd :

REG ADD %KEY%\045 /VE /D "Disabling Zip Folders in Explorer
REG ADD %KEY%\045 /V 1 /D "%systemroot%\System32\regsvr32.exe /u %windir%\System32\zipfldr.dll /s" /f

regsvr32 /u /s %SystemRoot%\system32\zipfldr.dll
regsvr32 /u /s %SystemRoot%\system32\cabview.dll
regsvr32 /u /s %SystemRoot%\srchasst\srchui.dll

What .dlls everybody unregistered on your unattended disc?

I don't any!

I just let them all be - 'coz it might cause problems later on, and anyway your installed app will capture the file extension (zip for winrar) for itself.

This command removes bloat from your video files

regsvr32.exe /s /u %systemroot%\system32\shmedia.dll

This is the search assistant

regsvr32.exe /s /u %systemroot%\srchasst\srchui.dll

Thanks... I think it's the one that adds extra length info in explorer detail view.

You're right. But those shell extensions seems to slow down explorer on large number files directory. And it's annoying with too many context menu.

I'd like to keep it simple.
