    Problem getting rid of zip folder
    I'm trying to download and store pictures on my computer, which is usually easy, however, for some reason, when I click "new folder" nothing happens and the only option I get is a compressed, zip folder. When I store photos on the zip, it takes forever, and I can't preview the pictures, they all have this flower logo.

    Help!


    Thanks.

    The following is a fix for Windows 7

    Create a new text document on the desktop. (New Text Document.txt)
    Edit the file and copy the following into the text file:



    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shellex\ContextMenuHan dlers\New]
    @="{D969A300-E7FF-11d0-A93B-00A0C90F2719}"

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Folder\ShellEx \ContextMenuHandlers\New]
    @="{D969A300-E7FF-11d0-A93B-00A0C90F2719}"

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\DesktopBackgro und\ShellEx\ContextMenuHandlers\New]
    @="{D969A300-E7FF-11d0-A93B-00A0C90F2719}"

    Now save the file and colse it. You must now rename the file ANYTHING.reg
    The .reg is the most important. If you cannot see the extension i.e.. . txt then open command prompt and type or copy the following:
    - CD Desktop
    - ren "New Text Document".txt fix.reg

    Run the file and restart. This should solve the issue.
