The unregister/register commands return an entry point error here - the only
thing (so far) that has worked was installing a zip program.

when I run the command I get same erroe as Diane;

The module "zipfldr.dll" was loaded but the entry-point DllUnregisterServer
was not found.

Make sure that "zipfldr.dll" is a valid DLL or OCX file and then try again

Well, that _used_ to work, but I hadn't had occasion to try it on
Windows 7. Sorry for the wild goose chase.

it appears to be a by design issue which applies to Outlook 2003 on Windows
7. There is registry value that controls how the explorer handles certain
file types for specific applications:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ShellCompatibility\Applications\outlook.exe
STRIPFOLDERBIT (string value is present)
VERSION = 11.*,10.*,9.*,8.*,7.*

When this compatibility data is in place, Windows will not launch the zip
file and treat it like a folder.

A workaround is to edit the value of the registry data which is to change
the data value of the "Version" string to 10.*;9.*;8.*;7.*. However, since
changing this registry value is untested and could possibly result in other
problems surfacing with Outlook 2003 (For example, can not add zip
attachments in an email message.) So please be aware before making this
change.

Before
----------
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ShellCompatibility\Applications\outlook.exe
STRIPFOLDERBIT (string value is present)
VERSION = 11.*,10.*,9.*,8.*,7.*

After
-------
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ShellCompatibility\Applications\outlook.exe
STRIPFOLDERBIT (string value is present)
VERSION = 10.*,9.*,8.*,7.*

I tried a reg hack that I found on a win7 forum - it doesn't work either. My
only suggestion right now is to install a zip program (there are several
free ones available) or have the users save zips first until someone figures
it out.
