Can't unzip files using the Windows Vista Extract All option
I tried to unzip files I downloaded from webs site using the "Extract All..." contextual menu on the file. I get an error panel saying the compressed (zipped) folder is empty. If I try double-clicking on the file, I get the message that the zip file
is invalid. This has happened for every zip file that I have tried to unzip so far. The only files I can unzip so far are the ones I have zipped myself using the Windows Vista "Send To --> Compssed folder" contextual menu. Any suggestions?

Replace the [exe] with the actual file extension that you want to restore its file type association to revert back to original Windows Vista default. If you unsure, simply browse through all the sub-key under FileExts.
