zip file problem

[Paul D]

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!

Control Panel>>Programs>>Default Programs>>Make a File type always open in a
specified program.

I haven't used them but you might try either one of these.

Thanks; I've gotten to that screen before; there is no way to click Windows
Explorer which is apparently the program i need zip to be associated with

Did you check out the extraction programs I pointed you to?
