Question: Windows XP includes built in zip file support so you don't have to install another program such as WinZip. 
However, I want to know if there's any way to disable XP's zip support. If so, how do I do it? - Jan C. 

Answer: Yes, you can disable zip support in XP by doing the following: 

Click Start | Run and type cmd to open a command prompt window. 
Type the following command at the prompt: regsvr32 /u zipfldr.dll 
This will disable XP's zip function. If you should later change your mind and decide you want it back, 
go back to the command prompt and type: cmd regsvr32 zipfldr.dll to reenable it.
