:) Here's the help: Posted by mystical (from: 216.88.88.140) on April 28, 2000 at 21:10:00: In Reply to: downloading .ZIP files from this site posted by DJ URGE on April 28, 2000 at 16:05:39: Hey there, :) I had the same problem.... when files download from specific sites, and have the wrong extension, (in your case: .mpeg instead of .zip) i wished for the "Open With" window to come up with a list of programs to open it with...a few months later I discovered how: Click once on the ".zip" file you downloaded (and is opening as a "movie") once it's highlighted in "blue" from you clicking on it, hold down the LEFT SHIFT key... then, while holding the left shift down, right click once on the icon (that won't open right) in the "pop down" menu, the word "OPEN WITH" should appear in the menu, left click on it, and voila! Choose a file to open it with...WINZIP preferably (www.winzip.com) and if WINZIP Is not in the List, (it should be) click "BROWSE" and select where you've got Winzip stored...I'm sorry I'm explaining so long, but here's it for short: 1) HOLD DOWN LEFT SHIFT KEY 2) CLICK (RIGHT) ON THE ICON 3) CLICK "OPEN WITH" 4) CHOOSE A FILE TO OPEN WITH! Simple? pretty... there's a lot of windows shortcuts on the keyboard, any more help? just keep posting on this message board!
