This tweak can be enhanced with a nice registry hack to completely prevent Vista Explorer to view zip/cab files in the Explorer's left hand navigation pane tree. If you use ShellEx the zip files are now as they were folders you can't access. See here: http://forums.techarena.in/tips-tweaks/934174.htm Works with Vista Home Premium SP1. Very handy if your folders are flooded with zip files. Thanks!

My downloads folder has loads of rar and zip files around 100 mb in size and would take forever to load up the folder and would hang. I had no idea why this was happening and now after following your above instructions, it opens up in a more timely fashion! thanks again. Thank you for this !!
