I have a problem with windows explorer, whenever I unzip or extract a file the structure of the directory folders go haywire.

I extract a file using windows extraction wizard, the directory tree on the left then updates and I end up with 5 or more desktop icons (each one different) and when i click on one and try and view a file I get a warning that this file or folder does not exist. I can use the files but the warnings and file confusion is a real pain

This only happens when i unzip something, I used to have Winrar but uninstalled that and the problem continues

I hope i have explained it enough :)

I run Windows XP SP2 with all the latest upgrades.

All help appreciated
Cheers
Tony

487748 2006-09-29 02:32:00 Thanks but the reason I uninstalled Winrar was just to see if it was causing the problem, the problem seems to be when unzipping any file no matter which method you use :help:
And yes, Winrar is much better :D
Cheers
