WIndows will not treat zip files as folders so you will lose the
capabilities discussed on this 
list in the thread "Hardware, Software and WetWare" on 16/17 Feb this year.
You will need 
a third party application such as WinZip, 7Zip, WinRAR etc to do anything
with zip files. 

You also won't be able to use ShellApllication to manipulate Zip files
programmatically in VBA (see my posting in dba-Access of 17 Feb  for an
example)
