Windows explorer comes with integrated support for zip files. While this is good for taking a quick peek into the contents, this is no good for working with zip files. Which means we all use some sophisticated application like 7-zip for managing zip files. Now it happens quite frequently while exploring folders that you try to expand a folder on the left-hand side in the explorer and it will try to load (open) all the zip files existing in the folder.
Functionality to handle this is packaged into zipfldr.dll and this can be disabled simply by un-registering this dll. Run the below at command prompt:
regsvr32 /u zipfldr.dll
