This is strictly an issue with web pages. Web pages are not a single
element, they are made up of multiple elements and the various elements are
saved in separate folders. The assumption is, you wouldn't be accessing the
saved page in Windows Explorer, rather you would have created a link or
shortcut to the page on your hard drive.
