Hi, Syl, I use XP also, but I will not upgrade to IE8 in the foreseeable future. Since the days my last use of Winzip, I have not really dealt with a .zip file. However, just this past week, I received a 20+ mb file. I downloaded it to a folder I created. I then right-clicked the filename, and chose Explore. All the image files were visible and I could choose to copy any or all of them to the folder or another folder. Maybe this type of click is better than to try to open the zipped file. Maybe all those windows are for each individual file, I don't know.
