SYMPTOMS
When you double-click an uncompressed folder located inside a compressed folder, the folder may not open, even though you have recently opened the folder and worked with its contents.



CAUSE
This behavior can occur if both of the following conditions are true:
 * You used Windows Explorer (by clicking the Explore command on the shortcut menu) to open the uncompressed folder.
 * You pressed the BACKSPACE key to move up a level in Windows Explorer.

After you quit Windows Explorer, you can no longer open the uncompressed folder located inside the compressed folder.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, close and reopen the compressed folder. After you reopen the compressed folder, you can double-click the uncompressed folder to open the folder.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Plus! 98, version 1.0.



MORE INFORMATION
The functionality of Windows Explorer is limited inside compressed folders.

Some Explorer functions have been eliminated to improve the performance of your computer when you work with compressed folders.
