Reset .zip file associations in Windows Vista

Discovered that I could no longer unzip in Windows Vista using the built in windows unzipping capability. It was most likely due to other software configurations breaking it. If you need to reset the .zip file associations, here is how to do it.

Step 1

Open up command prompt.

Step 2

Type the following: 

assoc .zip=CompressedFolder

vista-zip-associations

Hit enter and your good to go!
