insert file does not find all files

[Guest]

When I create a new message and try to attach a file, I click the Insert File
button on the toolbar. This action opens a window that allows me to search
my computer for the file I want to insert. It doesn't display all files.
Occasionally, I cannot find the file through this insert file feature. I
can, however, navigate through Windows Explorer and drag and drop the file
into the mail message.

This seems to occur primarily with zip files. It may be that the zip file
was created after I started Outlook. Does Outlook only find files that
existed prior to startup?
