Hi,
Un-register the zip and cab file dlls, then re-register them after that. Go
to Start/Run and type in:
Before Search:
regsvr32 /u zipfldr.dll
regsvr32 /u cabview.dll
After Search:
regsvr32 zipfldr.dll
regsvr32 cabview.dll

Hiya,=20
I tried this approach and it worked well for me. A couple=20
of comments.=20
After re-registering the dlls I had to log off and back on=20
before zip and cab files would be searched.
I put the commands in a .bat files and added the /s option=20
to suppress the message boxes.
Cheers
