I mostly use Winzip
I just needed to get Winrar to open a file.
Now all my Zip files show a Winrar Icon
How do i get the default zipping program back to Winzip ?

Change the program that opens a type of file:

Reopen WinZIP, and it should detect that is no longer the default program
for opening archives, and change it back. Next time you use WinRAR, or
anything else to handle archives, make sure it doesn't make itself the
default, or you'll have to go through the whole process again.
