| Dec 15, 2022 at 13:27 | comment | added | NoelC | Just following up... I experience a small pang of delight every. single. time. I open a downloaded zip file in File Explorer (something I do as part of my job many times a day) and it already has the right columns at the right sizes. So few gifts keep on giving. If I could buy you a case of beer I would, Keith. I hope you have the happiest of holidays! | |

| Aug 14, 2022 at 15:18 | comment | added | NoelC | To be clear, you need not add anything else. I had to remove the NotSpecified tweak. The change you suggested has been holding. New .zip files now open just as wanted. Thanks again! I've marked yours as the correct answer. | |

Added warning regarding FolderType override via an 'AllFOlders' entry.

| Aug 9, 2022 at 1:29 | comment | added | Keith Miller | Great! I'll add that info along with the warning about inheritance. As the OP at the reply I initially linked to never acknowledged my answer, could you please mark this as 'Answer'? | |
| Aug 8, 2022 at 14:30 | comment | added | NoelC | OK, I got it. I had another tweak in the registry that was incompatible; once removed your instructions worked! The tweak was to set all folders to General Items by Setting FolderType to NotSpecified in [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Bags\AllFolders\Shell] | |
| Aug 8, 2022 at 14:18 | comment | added | NoelC | Hm, first attempt at adding a comment was somehow lost... Trying again... I went through your instructions carefully. No matter how I edit my view for .zip I'm just never seeing any bag created under a bag number with the key {80213e82-bcfd-4c4f-8817-bb27601267a9}. Just {5C4F28B5-F869-4E84-8E60-F11DB97C5CC7}, which appears to be just the regular folder customization GUID. | |
