Filter for Hide not working

I am using filtering folder to create a Recent Documents folder.

I have File mask to show as *.???.*
I have File mask to hide as *.zip* or *.zip.* or *.zip

I still have .zip files showing up in my folder list.

Hmm... first filter have priority. What result you want to get?
If you want to remove zip files then remove File mask to show

I'd like both filters to work together.

I want all files that have extensions (thus excluding directories the cheap way) but no zip files (actually, these are all .lnk files of course, since I am in Recent Documents).

If the first filter has priority means if it is in show, don't check for a hide match, then is there a way I can use hide by itself to hide shortcuts to directories in Recent Documents (which look like xxx.lnk most of the time) without hiding shortcuts to files (which look like xxx.???.lnk).

Note to anybody else trying to only show a certain file type in the My Recent Documents list (e.g., only show word .doc files)...

The normal folder hiding and extension filtering doesn't work because all the files in the recent docs folder are actually .lnk files as NetMage said, but you can get around it like so...

Set Files mask to show to...

Only show word .doc files: "*.doc.lnk"
Hide folders: "*.*.lnk"
