security setting

[Guest]

Ok, this is ridiculous. I have downloaded a zipped file onto my desktop.
When I try to unzip the file it gives me an error message that says "Windows
has blocked access to these files to help protect your computer." Thanks for
the help, but no thanks. It gives instructions on how to unblock them, by
going to the properties and clicking unblock, which I did, and it still comes
up as blocked. I really need these files. Does anyone know how to unblock?
It said it does this if your security setting is strong. The only security
setting I could find was for the internet, and I put that at the minimum and
still no success. Any help would be much appreciated.

Try a third party program such as InfoZip's WiZ.

This may due to the seetings that are in the Internet Options..
I think you need to double check that to ensure that it is kept at minimum..

Also try another utility like WinRAR (http://www.rarlabs.com)
OR Winzip
