Hi all,

Problem #1

Whenever I try to open a "zipped" file, my Windows Explorer window just keeps opening over and over and over until my whole desktop is filled up! I keep shutting down, restarting, and retrying, but the same thing happens. Suggestions?

Thanks
Syl :)

PS. This "may" have started after I upgraded to IE 8. Not sure though.
