Windows Vista What is Vista's unzip utility called?

[nymphnode]

Hi,

I installed and uninstalled a zip software, and now Vista won't
recognize zipped files (I can't double-click to extract and the right-
click menu doesn't give me the option to extract). Anyone know in
which folder Vista's own zip utility is and what it's called?

Thanks,
g

Zip folders are a shell extension of Windows Explorer. There is no
standalone utility, per se. Download and Merge the .zip file extension file
association fix for Windows Vista, found here:
