    As I teach IT for a living, I find myself solving problems all day.

    Probably the last one at home was:

    (On Vista box)

    My son downloaded a folder of music
    Associated the folder with iTunes
    When he tried to open it, it obviously wouldn't work
    When I went to associate the file type with a compression software I noticed there was no panel in Vista like XP, 98 etc and the only way seems to be via right click/ open with etc
    I had a look around for the windows zip software, couldn't see it
    I ran regedit, looked to see what it was associated with.
    I noticed that it was pointing to a zip.dll and not an exe file

    I downloaded winzip, changed the option of opening zip files to winzip

    Son stopped freaking out because he had his music zip folders back and openable

      thats a nice fix acousticguitarist. So you are a acoustic guitarist as well as a IT teacher and I can imagine how many problems you might be going through each day as computers create more problems than solving problems.
