Zip file showing up as folders .....

Hello there,

Recently installed XP and don't like one of the things it does.
Under Windows Explorer if I click on a folder that has zip files in it, it will show those zips as folders and will list them on the left hand side.
How do i change this so that it doesn;t show up as folders and only file as Win98 did ?


Another question not tl all realting to abv....
if u click on start menu (under XP) it show My Music, My Documents etc...
how do i change the link on My Music, so that it doesnt open default location i.e 'c:\my music' rather it should open where i actually keep the music files ?


thanks

Just download winzip to get rid of the folders. They will appear as zipped files instead.
