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

[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
