obihal,
You didn't name your OS.
If it is XP, then zipfiles do not show in the tee
... (except when you are in one).
In win7, however, they are listed in the tree pane.
Like you, I would like to not see them listed in the tree pane in w7.
nikos,
Can this be fixed so w7 tree pane behaves as XP tree pane does?

In the past I found several times the ZIPs showing in the tree pane (XP SP3). I am not sure about the condition, when this appears, but it seemed to me, as if this would happen, if I open a folder on a CD / DVD (without ever touching the ZIPs itself). If this happens (and probably there are several ZIPs in a folder) the needed time for displaying the tree pane is tremendously slow (whereas WE was quick).

@ ...I am not sure about the condition...
I don't recall ever seeing zipfiles in the tree on XP except when viewing on in a folder pane.
I suppose many folks want to see them as folders all the time, based on MS moving to treat them that way. However I'd rather have them treated as the files they are. Or at least have a user option for it.

Thomas,
You are right about zipfiles on CD showing in the x2 tree pane in XP.
(I had to borrow an XP machine to check, as mine is in storage.)
But they don't show on HDDs nor on portable thumb drives.
Even though they anomalously show on CD's, I would still prefer x2 on w7 to behave the same as it did on XP. Even better would be to not show CD zipfiles in the tree, but I'll be happy with a partial solution.

Another bad part of this problem folders and zips ara in alphabetic order.
A (folder)
a.zip
B (folder
b.zip
i have one folder which have a lot folders and zips. solve this by putting ___'s in front of folders (_A) :) This dont happen to zip files on the desktop. They are shown at the end of folders.

Fred, thank you for testing.
@Nikos:
I found this problem about a year ago, when I had to rebuild my system because of a motherboard-change. I had previously saved all my installers and zip-files (a really great number) on dvd and had to take them afterwards from there. And it got a real great problem, because opening any folder on the dvd with ZIPs inside (the very most of them) took ages, as x2 seemed not only to list the ZIPs in the tree pane but also to read the content of all of them (although not opened).
If I opened the folders with WE instead, all run smoothly. As my machine was not online at that time I was not able to report it and forgot the problem afterwards. This thread reminded me about this behavior.
Questions: Is this intentional and why? Can you change / fix this?
