Speed Up Windows XP search

When you use the Search function in Windows XP, it includes compressed or zipped folders in the search. This can slow down your search. You can disabled Windows XP Search from looking for compressed or zipped folders.
Click on Start-Run and type the following command:

Regsvr32 c:\Windows\System32\zipfldr.dll /u

To change Windows XP Search back, use the above command without the /u
