This email did not come from CNN, it contains spurious links that will load spam bots and other malware on your computers.

The content changes such that the actual story might exist on CNN

If you are registered with CNN for their news alerts or are interested in the content then for the time being go to the CNN home page and search from there, do not click the email links.

Restore Vista compressed file association

Monday, August 4th, 2008

Recently I lost the ability to expand zip files as compressed folders in Vista. a quick search of the web and I found this:

  1. At the start prompt enter “cmd /c assoc .zip=CompressedFolder
  2. If necessary, Open regedit, navigate to the above path and delete the UserChoice node
    [-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.zip\UserChoice]
  3. Restart Windows

remember editing the registry can be dangerous, so always backup first or create a restore point.
