How to suppress showing *.zip files as folders in WinExplorer?

[Guest David Welch]

I am sitting in front of a WinXP system where *.zip files are shown

in the folder tree on the left side.

 

How can I suppress these kind of entries?

 

*.zip files should be treated as files and only shown on the left side.

Hi David

 

Go to Explorer's Tools menu | Folder Options, then View tab. Un-check

"Display simple folder view in Explorer's folders list" and OK. On my

system I need to close Explorer and then re-open it for the change to

take effect.

 

Hope this helps :-)
