Outlook 2003 doesn't consistently show zip files in "insert file"

When attempting to attach a zip file to an outgoing message all the zip files
in a particular location do not appear "Insert File" box. This is not a
consistent issue and I've not have the time to research if it's interrelated
with anything else going on at the time. Zip files typicall contain Autocad
files.

If you are running Windows XP, then the missing ZIP file(s) might be due to
the operating system treating them as folders. To check, open a command
prompt and type:

regsvr32 /u zipfldr.dll
regsvr32 /u cabview.dll

To under the above:
regsvr32 zipfldr.dll
regsvr32 cabview.dll

FWIW, if you use a 3rd party compression program like WinZip, WinRAR, .etc,
you might not have to do the above.
