Hi,
I have been experiencing a strange problem.

I am a user of XP Pro. Since recently, when I want to attach a file to an email (either on Outlook Exprees or on Gmail interface), XP started attaching the shortcut of folders. I, however, want to click on a shortcut of a folder and see its content and choose a file from there.

I tried this on my notebook and this problem does not exist in it. I click on the shortcut of a folder and see the files in it, choose one of them and it is attached to the email. Everything is normal there.


What is your suggestion?

Wow that sounds strange. I'm not sure how you got it to do that.

So when you try to browse through your email attach dialog, and then click a folder shortcut that is on your browser. Instead of going to the folder it just attaches the folder shortcut?

I tried to replicate the problem but it just won't do it!

Definitely something unique. Are you sure it's a folder shortcut and not a compressed folder?
