How to change default unzip program?

Hello, all!


How can one change the default unzip program? I understand that everyone is having difficulty with Archive Utility, and although you can easily repair permissions and reboot to temporarily fix this problem, it very soon (i.e., within minutes) necessitates Option+Command+ESC all over again.


I have downloaded and enjoy Zipeg. How can I change my default to Zipeg?

OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

Select a zip file in the Finder. It doesn't actually have to be a zip file; any file with a name ending in ".zip" will do.


Open the Info dialog. Select the application you want from the Open with menu, then click Change all.
