Select Run from the Start Menu.
Type regsvr32 /u %windir%\system32\zipfldr.dll at the prompt, and click Ok.
Note: %windir% is the location of the Windows directory on your system. You can also run this from a command prompt.
You'll have to restart Windows for this change to take effect.

A note of CAUTION! Always create a restore point or backup before running this command and type it carefully!

I actually am now using
regsvr32 c:\windows\\system32\zipfldr.dll /u
but I was using yours for a week until this new way I found fixed it for good.
