Hi, every time I try to unzip a zip file using either winzip,

Unzip which is now telling me I only have one part of the zip. like
a rar that comes in parts.. ? (It's only one zip) I would
appreciate knowing how to fix this one.. I have been searching for
an answer for a few weeks.. so far all I have found is a suggestion
to go to Tools Folder Options, File types, click on the unzipping
utitlity, advanced and make sure that confirm open after dowload
has a check mark..it already had a checkmark, so now I don't know
what to do. .. I am thinking it's a registry problem.. but don't know how
to fix or where to start. I
just installed 7zip and still it does the same thing. Yesterday I
repaired the
operating system, thinking that might fix the problem.. :( Would
appreciate
some advice please...
