Okay,

I found a "fix".

To help others - there is a registry fix you can run - see this page:

 <http://www.winhelponline.com/articles/105/1/File-association-fixes-for-Windows-Vista.html>

Follow the instructions on that page, and it does seem to fix it.

Just note, the icon associated with the zip file may remain Adobe Reader, but if you right click, "Extract All" *will* show up on the list. (Extract All was *not* on the list when I booted up.)

Vista is giving me a headache!
