Humm, say's it was corrected in SP1. And you have SP2, so it's back to
the work around? Or is something else causing it to break?

 

[George Hester]

I don't know and yes I have SP2 and the issue still occurs internittantly.
So I am trying the worksround for now. It turns out this wasn't the issue
that caused me to find this KB article. I was trying to stop the display of
subfolders when a folder is selected in Windows XP. And it it is not the
folder display I was trying to stop but the new showing as folders zip files
and other files.

The zip files folders, etc fix is a bit two-fold. However, the fix is:

Go to Start/Run and type in: regsvr32 /u zipfldr.dll

Hey now thank you very much Kelly. You are my kind of mommy.

Most welcome, son! )

There really aren't any except for spam. Remember your mommy doesn't come
here more than likely. You have to fend for yourself.
