    When I use Windows XP ZIP function. success make ZIP file and add password.

    My question is why again see my filename(s) and folder(s) name?

    I know if open ZIP file (txt,xls,doc,jpg...) NEED password to open.

    But I hope this filename(s) and folder(s) can hidden, if no password to open ZIP file, exit now!

    is possible set (regedit)?


    PHP:
    TODAYJOB.ZIP

    TODAYJOB

     |
    ___ INVOICE DATA
     
    |      |____ 20061101.XLS
     
    |      |____ 20061107.XLS
     
    |      |____ 2006OCT.DOC
     
    |
     |
    ___ maryreport.xls
     
    |___ quote.doc
     
    |___ tom.jpg
     
    |___ myprofile.txt
     
    |___ Hotel.Jpg


    I hope all file
    (s) and folder(sno show me. if password is wrong.

    From www.tweakxp.com

    Zip files are not folders.

    XP treats Zip files like folders, to stop this type 'regsvr32 /u zipfldr.dll' at the command prompt.

    To reverse it type 'regsvr32 zipfldr.dll'.
