In Explorer, or what it is called in English in Windows XP, Zip files is more or less treated as directories. Is there some options that I can turn off, so this won't happen? Like on good old Win2K?

Not that I have seen, but if you install a 3rd party app to handle zips windows will stop treating them as folders and let the app you set as the default viewer to open them.
(obviously)
I have winrar installed. But it doesn't help. It is still treating it as folders.

yeah, install a winzip or winrar would solve it.
edit: oops.. didnt know i posted this 1 minute slwoer thn yours.
well, why do you need to exclude the way it was anyway?
What about Right-Clicking on the zip file and Open With...WinRar
RIght clicking it won't solve my problem.
The actualy problem. Is that Cute FTP is treating it as a directory too because of XP. So if I try to upload a ZIP file to my server, it uploads it as a directory...:grrrr:

ic, well. i dont use cuteftp for a long time. i advise you to use "core ftp lite", its free + dont have such problem u faced.

i c, cool.. yeah the GUI is pretty bad, but wat to do? all i need is a free one, and a functional one. so i dont pretty much care about it.
as for your cuteftp prob.... was thinking this could be not the windows problem. it might be the setting from the cuteftp, having options on exploring compressed file.
I think I have tried any setting in CuteFTP. And when I had it on Win2K I never had to change any settings from the default settings to make it work. So I guessed it had to be that it is the first time I am trying it on XP, and that XP treats my zip files as folders, and that is pretty annoying since when I am opening a folder in Explorer, the tree lists becomes VERY long, since I have a lot of zip files...
hm... yeah i know wat u mean about the long list...
well, dont have a solution from me... coz i did not try cuteftp in xp too.
tested it in win98 only.. :)
sorry dude.
Get FireFTP. It works very well.
lol, i have fire FTP too, but to be honest. its not so stable yet.
i've tried a few times and sometimes it will encounter some problems and just close the whole firefox.. sigh...
well, its pretty good for fireftp and the gui, but still need to do a lot of debugs.
just wish they'd get a stable ones.
Why didn't I think of FireFTP. I actualy had it installed. I guess I was too stuck up with the actual problem.
Well I just tried it now. And the GUI is a bit better then the other app. Will try it on for some days, and see if it is unstable for me too. If not, I think I will start to use FireFTP.
Thanks
I think it works fine. It took a little bit of work to figure out how it is supposed to work, but once I did, I was doing everything that I wanted to. Password protected account, and everything. I like the auto-logon feathres.
Try reassociating zip files with WinRAR. That's the Compressed Zip Folder feature of XP, though when you install WinZip, it takes the association away from it, so it doesn't happen to me. Check the associations and ensure it isn't associated in any way with anything but WinRAR.
It is as assosiated as it can be I guess. I have choosen zip and rar files to always open in Winrar. And they do when I click them.
Thanks though

Well, I don't get it, but I got both WinZip and WinRAR installed, the former installed first.
To remove zip folder support:
Start > Run
Type: "regsvr32 /u zipfldr.dll" (w/o quotes)
Click OK.
Restart Windows (or kill and reopen Explorer.exe)
(to enable again use "regsvr32 zipfldr.dll")
Hey hey hey...that worked like a charm...:D...didn't even have to restart windows. Just restart explorer.exe....:)....wow...thanks a lot...
