Outlook Fix: Attach Zip Files to Outgoing E-Mail

The easy workarounds are, first, you can manually open the folder containing the Zip file, then drag it to the new e-mail window. That accomplishes the same thing as selecting a file with the attach tool. Second, you can do the following:

* In Windows XP, click Start > Run, then type Command and hit Enter. In Vista, click Start, type Command and hit Enter.
* Type regsvr32 /u zipfldr.dll
* Wait for a confirmation box to appear. Click OK, then type Exit into the Command window to close it.

Now Outlook should show your Zip files like a good little e-mail client.
