another small tip to disable the built-in Zip functionality in Windows Vista, XP and Server 2003.

start > run
regsvr32 /u %windir%\system32\zipfldr.dll

I'd suggest using it if you have another Zip program installed; helps saving resources.

want to enable it again ?
start>run
regsvr32 %windir%\system32\zipfldr.dll
