Computer Tip: Windows XP Zip Functionality Disappeared

One thing that adds peace to my life is a working computer. A couple days ago, while working, I noticed the default zip/unzip functionality in Windows XP was completely missing. I couldn’t unzip a package I had downloaded, and there was no “Send To Zip” under the right click menu. After some research, here’s what I found:
- Start Menu -> Run
- Type: REGSVR32 ZIPFLDR.DLL
If that doesn’t help, try:
- Start Menu -> Run
- Type: cmd /c assoc .zip=CompressedFolder
To Simply restore the ‘Send To’ feature:
- Start Menu -> Run
- Type: rundll32 zipfldr.dll,RegisterSendto
And be sure your changes are taking effect, Restart the computer.
Enjoy!
