Restoring Vista zip support

I recently installed an unpack program and set it as default to open all
types of compressed files, including zip. Now I've uninstalled it and would
like to have zip files open as a normal directory again (like it is when
Vista is first installed) but I can't find where to do that. When I try to
open a zip file now I get a prompt saying Vista can't find the program to
open it. Anyone know what to do?

Point at the file and right click. Click Send To and Compressed(zip)
