zip folder problem

VIJAYA · Dec 13, 2009

My friend sent me a zip compressed file comprising videos. So when I clicked open - it prompted me to choose which program I wanted to open the zipped file in. Since it was video files, I clicked on the Windows Media. Windows media could not recognize each file but I think reads it as a compressed file... so it gave me an error message.

Now every .zip files that I download (be it videos or not), I'm obliged to open it with windows media player. How do I revert back to the way it was where I would double click and see each file inside the zipped folder??

I think I need to change the "open with" program under the properties, but I don't know where/what the previous .zip file/program is...

PLEASE HELP. Thank you :cry:

:huh:

Hello Vijaya, and welcome to Vista Forums.

You can download and merge the ZIP download in the tutorial below. It will restore the default ZIP associations back for you.
