Open a file in a ZIP via Explorer (no GUI)

[vefatica]

I know an Explorer window can go inside a ZIP file, but ...

I didn't think this would work. It did! Explorer must have done it (via ShellExecute[Ex]). It opened in TextPad according to the association for .TXT.

start d:\anonymous\4plugins\X64\4wt.zip\4wt.txt

The file I actually saw was here:

C:\Users\vefatica\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache\IE\7FQSB1GC\4wt[1].txt

It even works without START.

Edit: no it doesn't.
