The .cur.zip File

The combination of .zip and .cur files could refer to a cursor image or animation being compressed into a .zip file. To open a .cur.zip file, you must unzip the file first and then open it with a default Windows program. If Windows is unable to open the .cur file, you must run a registry check to scan for registry errors and damages.
