Unfortunately, I was not able to find zip exe like you say. it's not option in the list. See attached screen shot. I searched for "zip" and "zip.exe" and could not find this on the server. Other user accounts including the Administrator account can still open compressed folders like normal, but this user cannot. Any other ideas?

Hello, I have windows 2008 enterprise server running terminal server. I have a user who is logging in with default user rights. The user has a .zip file on the desktop. It opens in notepad, not the default .zip compressed folder like it normally does. It appears the .zip file association for this user only has been changed. I believe it is because he right clicked the file, and chose open with and selected word pad for some unknown reason. I searched the net and could only find information about .zip associations for Vista, Me and XP but nothing for 2008 server. This is a production server so all help is greatly appreciated. Thanks everyone! Chad
