4,377 PointsHow to unzip downloaded file (HTML/CSS code) from Workspace?
I have an issue with unzip downloaded file (HTML/CSS code) from Workspace on my Windows 7 PC.
Here were the steps:
- Click My Workspace
- Click File
- Click Download Workspace
I understand the downloaded file is a zipped file. However I could not unzip the file using WinZip.
Is there any other way to capture HTML/CSS code from Workspace?
Please help.

You have to rename the download file, to have a .zip
extension then your system will know it's a zip file and WinZip (or Windows 7's own compressed folder wizard) will be able to unzip.

I was able to unzip downloaded file after renaming it with .zip extension per James B. suggestion. Looks like there is a bug in Workspaces.
Thank you for your prompt help.

Right Click on the zip file -> Properties -> Click on <Change> button for open with label -> Select Windows Explorer -> Ok
Now when you open the Zip file, it will get opened in Windows Explorer, Copy the content to your directory[folder].
Hope it helps :)

Windows 7 features a native zip tool, You should be able to right click on the downloaded file and select extract from the menu. This should then extract the contents into a folder of the same name.
