; I have to thank to:

; - Anand Khanse for his very informative and useful article:
;     How to disable Windows built-in Zip support
;     http://www.thewindowsclub.com/disable-windows-built-in-zip

; - NickHunter for his alternative and simple method (there's NO NEED to TAKE OWNERSHIP of these registry keys).

; - Tessa Moore for her request for a script to implement this method.

; IMPORTANT: Always create a system restore point before dealing with the Windows registry.
