| | zip file problem I'm having problems extracting a large zip file. THe file has the zip extension in it's name but somehow it's associated with MS word, so when i click the file MS word opens and tries to open the file. When I click on the file to try to change the program to open the file there are none listed that are extraction programs. WHat do I do? Thanks! Paul Diana |
