Under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, look for .zip, right click it export it first (to back it up in case something goes wrong), and then delete it. 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!
