high sierra insists on trying to open zip files with winzip because i dl'd a demo of winzip for some arcane zip file.
i am trying to set the zip files to open with archive utility app.
anyone know how to select it?!
Mac Pro, macOS 10.13
Right clicking from the contextual menu only tells the OS to open that particular file with app you choose from the list.
To make the Archive Utility the default choice again, do a Get Info on any .zip file. Under the Open with section, choose Archive Utility and then click the button to make it the default.

hi kurt.
if i go OPEN WITH it will allow me to select the utility but it will simply open the zip file. i do not get an option to select as default.
if i go into OTHER it will show the dialogs as above. but as you indicated i think i finally fixed this:
SYSTEM > LIBRARY > CORE SERVICES > APPLICATIONS - then make sure to check ALWAYS OPEN WITH - and select ARCHIVE UTILITY
APPRECIATE IT!
hi kurt.
actually i am working here and it is not working. seems there is some kind of bug with the winzip download on high sierra if you do not buy the loaner?
i just tried to open another zip and it tries to open with winzip. so i tried the OTHER then to core services then check ALWAYS OPEN with a couple of times and it still tried to open with winzip.
was there an uninstall for the winzip app i should try?
big pain trying to open zip files right now.
THANK YOU
/System/Library/CoreServices/Applications/Archive Utility
Just mouse over from the open with and select the Archive Utility and it will ask if you want this to be the default
where's ARCHIVE UTILITY APP
