Best Answer

A zip file is a file compressed in ZIP format to make it smaller in size (usually to send it through email faster or to download it faster, or to make it fit on a memory stick). You'll need to use software like Winzip to unzip it or extract it. This will then result in the file you need, without the ZIP packaging.

When downloading a zip file it turns it into a folder but I want it to be a zip file how do I change my setting to do so?

If the folder has a zipper on it, it's a zip file. That's what zip files look like in Windows XP and later, since the OS has support for zip files built in. If you're really getting an uncompressed folder, you'd need to specify what browser you were using in order to get an answer.
