Broken zip / archive extension in Windows Vista

So I was playing around in Vista and purposely, by accident, associated all my Zip files with a WinRAR program. After removing the WinRAR app I figured that the associations would restore to the defaults of Vista, WRONG....

So if you're faced with this issue here's the fix.

In Vista
goto Start
and run "cmd /c assoc .zip=CompressedFolder"

All the default Zip file functions should be back to good Vista style.

Cheers,
