Windows XP Provessional search companion searching
compressed files (zip, jar, etc.). I do not want
compressed files opened when searching. I can't find a
way to stop this action.

Thanks.

Ricardo,

According to Kelly MS-MVP,

To Stop Search from Scanning ZIP files:

Unregister the ZIP and CAB file DLLs before the search, then re-register the DLLs after the search.

Before Search:

[Start] | Run |
regsvr32 /u zipfldr.dll
[Enter]

[Start] | Run |
regsvr32 /u cabview.dll
[Enter]

After Search:

[Start] | Run |
regsvr32 zipfldr.dll
[Enter]

[Start] | Run |
regsvr32 cabview.dll
[Enter]

I was hoping I was just missing a check box someplace
that gave me a choice of searching compressed files or
not, like the older versions had.

I'll try this. Thanks.
