Crikey! It's NOT the icon that is the issue. The damned things are
showing as FOLDERS, thoroughly cluttering up Explorer. They're NOT
FOLDERS, they are FILES.

Well, they look like folders with a zipper inside on my XP machine:

Is that what you're seeing? If I change to
view - details
they look like files.

Incidentally, compressed archives are folders, not files.

If you think that your XP install has somehow been corrupted,
Microsoft fixit has an icon repair section:

You seem to pin all Windows' weirdness on "corruption" :-) Here's
what I'm getting, in "Details" mode:

Really annoying.

Surely there's some way to force them showing under the Files
section???

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.
