Rather than deleting an unwanted program uninstall it using the entry in
Add/Remove Programs. This will not only remove the unwanted program's
files but also the various entries it added to the registry such as the
one associating Superzip with files with a zip extension.

This feature is part of Win Me's compressed folders function, Win Me's
built in application for unzipping ZIP files. If not installed you can
install this using Add/Remove Programs | Windows Setup | System Tools,
click Details and check "Compressed Folders" then OK and Apply after which
you will need to reboot.

I know nothing of Wiz however if you wish to use this application install
it and it should offer the option to associate itself with ZIP files.
