The same way you do it in XP ? But that involves disabling zip folders
altogether.

Then you'd need a third-party zip tool. But you can't afford to buy one,
being broke and unemployable.

I'd suggest 7Zip, but you hate 'open source' s/w, so what are you going to
do ?!

What a quandry. It sucks to be you.

 

1) I use WinRAR except for good old zip, rar's are coming to me from Europe
& Asia (drawings/CAD)
But I don't want to disable ZIP's, so you say the only way to prevent them
showing up as folders and instead show as regular files, with nothign
special being about .zip extension, is to DISABLE some kind of special
handling?
I can use your advise but can you elaborate a few words more?

2) I am employed.
But thanks for worrying about my life. As of WinRAR it's free, and so is
Microchip C18 C-compiler.
Why it's free to me? I enabled special treatment function.

For being an 'engineer', you're not too smart.

What search results did you find @ Google when you used the search terms:

vista disable zip folders

He's not an Engineer. He can't even set his clock correctly or spell third
grade words.

I never said he was an engineer........

I said 'engineer'. (Note the quotes.)
