Windows 7 x64 SP1 - Compressed Folder (ZIP File) Problem - Opening Files From
Need some help here with opening files within a zip file/compressed folder.
System A - Can double-click a zip file, view contents (such as word docs), double-click one of the files, and it opens in the respective application just fine.
System B - Can double-click a zip file, view contents (such as word docs), double-click one of the files, and it DOES NOT open in the respective application. In fact, it does nothing.
Due to client needs (and the fact that how System A is functioning - properly), extracting the zip first is not a valid solution.
Anyone have any clues?

This is happening for all user profiles on the machine, even clean profiles never generated before.
Try uninstalling Office on System B. Before re-installing:
1. Restart.
2. Run SFC /SCANNOW and allow to complete. Run again if errors remained the first time.
3. Restart again.
4. Update Windows (lots of updates 2 days ago).
5. Restart again (probably because updates will make you).
6. Install Office - Full, not Typical except for languages you do not use.
7. Add the relevant Service Packs for Office and then patch fully.
Now try again and let us know please if that helps.
