Attaching .zip files to email

[Guest]

I have several users who, when they go to browse in Outlook for files to
attach, can see all files EXCEPT .zip files. They are using Outlook 2003 sp2
in an XP sp2 environment. I've checked through Tools>>> Options>>>Security
and other places, but haven't found anything likely. They are choosing *.* in
the File Types dialog box.
Any help would be appreciated.

This is due to Windows XP's ability to treat zip files as folders. Two
options at this point.

1) install a 3rd party program that can handle zip files or

2) unregister the dlls that allow XP to handle zip files as folders
(regsvr32 /u zipfldr.dll to undo it is regsvr32 zipfldr.dll)
