How can i make a zip file open in a folder like normal again?

On a MAC: Download the .zip file email or the web. If you doubleclick on the icon which will be placed in your "downloads" folder, it should automatically place - or "unzip" all enclosed files into another folder. The folder will have the same name as the .zip file. On a PC: If you are using IE (internet explorer) you may have a hard time saving such files to your hard drive. If this is the case, I suggest using Chrome as your browser instead.
