File association problems

The file associations do not work for WinZip 29 in Windows 11. The file association method has changed in Windows 11. The options (settings) in WinZip regarding integration do not set properly the associations in the operating system. Also, WinZip removes the option of Windows 11 to open the compressed files with its own file explorer, which is a problem.
