Close the registry editor, and the next time you double click a zip file, it will regenerate the .zip class in the registry with the default Compressed folders assocations.
OMG you are amazing! That worked like a charm! It not only allowed me to open my original files again, now I can open the ones from that site that I could never open before. I've gotten rid of Winzip because now I don't need it at all. I did have to restart my computer, but that registry fix worked great. Thanks so much!
