zipfldr.dll

[hougtimo]

HI,

I would like to remove the native ZIP and CAB support that windows XP offers through explorer.exe. I know I could have done it with nLite, but I thought I needed it, and now I realise that I find IZarc better for that. So basically I just need to remove support. Is it just a case of unregistering zipfldr.dll and then deleting it? or are there other things you have to do?

Thanks

HougTimo

That's pretty much it. I'd just suggest keeping the file (or the source from the install disk) on hand in case you run into a situation where you'll need it. I can't think of one off the top of my head, but you never know.

don't forget about cabview.dll

regsvr32 /s /u %windir%\system32\zipfldr.dll
regsvr32 /s /u %windir%\system32\cabview.dll
