WinME Zip assoc. broken

[Do_Or_Die]

I've got a small problem. WinME comes configured to open zip files without having to use an external program such as WinZIP or PKZip. Unfortunately, an archiving program I installed earlier took over that extension without prompting me for it. I decided I didn't want the stupid program to start with so I uninstalled it. The problem is, now zip files aren't associated with any program and I don't know what it uses by default. I know I could just use WinZIP but I preferred the built-in program better. Anybody here with WinME that can help me with that? If you could look under your file associations and tell me what progam it uses I'd appreciate it. Thanks for the help.

There is a Microsoft Knowledge Base article about this at http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q258/5/75.asp?prd=winme&pver=4.9&id=258575

I got this link through the November Help and Support update, one of the nice things about ME. It adds new links to Help about issues like this that come up, I suggest you use it if you don't already.

I'm kinda annoyed - ZipFolders-like functionality is what I've always wanted built into the OS, but you can't open self-extracting archives this way; however WinZip has terrible folder-within-zip-file handling, I wish they'd use an explorer-like interface so it was easy. I'll try and find a way of running the two side-by-side to get the best of both worlds.

Thanks for the help, I didn't even think about looking in the Windows Setup. Worked like a charm. I'll be getting that update working now too.
