I changed the program that opens my zip files, and want to change it back so
it works as zip files. What program do I tell it to "open with", and how do I
find it?
 
Hi, Brink

Thank you for your advice. It solved part of problem I created. The zip
files now open again.

The icons still shows a notepad or something; not a zip folder. When I right
click the "opwn with", it still shows the programs I assigned (Explorer and
notepad), and there seems to be no way to delete them. Is there some way to
get the folder icon back again, and get rid of those associations?
 
Download and apply the .zip association fix from here.

Hi, Brink

All fixed! Thank you so much.

Also thanks to Ramesh, who had the more general file association link.
That's great to know about too.

Larry
