Zipped (compressed folders) in directory tree Windos XP SP2

[Sachama]

The compressed folders are supposed to appear on the right pane of windows
explorer in the directory tree amoung the other normal folders. In reality,
sometimes they appear and sometimes not. I do not find the rule.

Any idea?

Thanks a lot

Hi,

It's probably that they have the hidden and/or system attributes, and your
folder options are not set to see one or the other or both.

I checked folder options.

"Show hidden file and folders" is ticked, "Hide protected operating system
files" is not ticked. was it the right thing to look for? Any other ideas?

Thanks
