Restore xp's default zip utility

Symptom
Sometimes, uninstalling a third-party compression software does not restore the Zip file association (XP natively supports Zip files), and the Compressed (zipped) Folder ShellNew entry may also be missing.

Resolution
To restore the Windows XP Zip file integration quickly, type this command from Start, Run dialog:
REGSVR32 ZIPFLDR.DLL
If that does not help, another command is required to change the .ZIP association.
Type in Start, Run:
cmd /c assoc .zip=CompressedFolder

Equivalent registry edit for the 2nd command above (fyi) Open Registry Editor and navigate to the following key:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.ZIP]
Double-click (default) and set it's data to CompressedFolder Close Regedit and restart Windows.
