Default File or directories missing in when attaching a file

We are running Outlook 2003 SP2 on a Windows XP Pro SP2 system. We
are connected to the network with mapped drives. Out of the blue we
have started noticing that some users go to attach a file in Outlook
via the insert file button, the file or folder is not showing up in
the window. The window is set for all files but a folder or two are
missing. For instance we may have the following which are folders

60107
60108
60109

The above folders which are in numerical sequence, if I go into
windows explorer I see all the folders but when I go into Outlook and
click on the insert file button, I may just see 107 and 109. The
folder 60108 is not showing up so I can not click on it and open the
folder up to attach any files within the folder.


I can't explain this.

I have another user having the same problem or similar with zip
files, he can't see any zip via insert file button yet the zip file
is right on his desktop.


This, however, is common for Windows XP, which, by default, treats zip files
as folders. To cause Windows to show zip files as files, click StartRun
and enter:

regsvr32 /u zipfldr.dll

To reset Windows to treat zip files as folders, use

regsvr32 zipfldr.dll
