Currently my setup has it so that all file extensions that are supported by 7zip are extracted on double click into a folder pertaining to the name of the archive. This works perfectly on all file extensions except for the main archive extension [.zip]. I did not have this issue on my previous version of windows.
How I have it setup is I rigged a registry file to follow the basic format of
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.<file-extention>]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.<file-extention>\Shell]
@="extract"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.<file-extention>\Shell\extract]
@="Extract to Folder"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.<file-extention>\Shell\extract\command]
@="C:\\Program Files\\7-Zip\\7zG.exe x \"%1\" -o*"
I should also mention I currently have disabled base Windows 10 zip functionality so it has no action on double click but I still cannot get the above edits to work with zip. Any advice is appreciated.

This unfortunately did not help my issue. Thanks for trying though. – Derprism – 2016-03-21T19:32:10.433
Works fine here. The registry has to be applied for each user separately, to clear the overriding entries. If that doesn't do it, may be you can generate a .zip association report (using FileTypeDiag or FileExtInfo tools) and post them online giving us a link. Would be glad to take a look at it. – w32sh – 2016-03-22T05:29:31.660
I did use one of the programs you stated above to generate a .txt I couldn't figure out how to use the information it generated but here is a link [ http://pastebin.com/Mp25i8N4 ]. I will however say that I found an interesting thing that Windows actively re-creates the upper key of the two you gave me consistently. – Derprism – 2016-03-22T07:35:51.627
I've edited my answer ... included a line in the REG file. From the log i see that the .zip file types are still associated with "CompressedFolder". The above REG file removes that.
If that doesn't work, I'll post another approach that will surely work. – w32sh – 2016-03-22T08:44:56.630
Note that the lines need to be added at the beginning of your REG file, not at the end. – w32sh – 2016-03-22T08:47:36.943
It worked this time, you put way to much effort into helping me and I thank you for it. :) – Derprism – 2016-03-23T01:04:49.257
Glad to help, Derprism. And a more accurate way to assign file type association is to define a ProgID for the file type, and set the verbs (like "extract all" there. – w32sh – 2016-03-23T02:04:24.233
