    This document provides three solutions to resolve an issue where compressed (zipped) folders are not showing in the dropdown menu. Solution 1 involves deregistering and reregistering the zipfldr.dll file using regsvr32 commands. Solution 2 uses the rundll32 command to register the SendTo handler. Solution 3 runs the System File Checker tool to check for missing or corrupted files. It then confirms the issue is resolved by checking the registry entry for the CompressedFolder key. The document also lists the DLL files involved in compression, decompression, and the compressed folders shell extensions.
