Comment:
When I use the file searcher of Windows XP, I lose a lot of time because it is also decompressing temporarily all my zip files to search into them, while I don't need thsi because I am sure the file I'm searching is not in a zip. So how could I deactivate this annoying feature of Windows XP file finder?

you need to disable ZIP integration within XP. Then use Winzip or Winrar as your Zip program...
disable Zip integration by going to Start > Run
then type in the following:
regsvr32 /u %windir%\system32\zipfldr.dll
then reboot your computer. Zip integration still comes back to haunt XP for me sometimes, just run the "Regsvr.." command above, and it will de-integrate ZIP.
i too hate it looking within Zip files - especially when you have loads throughout the computer.
