Opening downloaded .zip in Windows?

Sometimes you breeze over something that seems obvious but is not smile. It took me a few attempts to get the right folder 'opened' in IntellijIDEA.

How I got there:

  1. extract lambdas.zip
  2. open lambdas folder and extract lambdas-start.zip
  3. in IntellijIDEA I had to make sure I went all the way inside the lambdas-start folder to select the Lambdas folder as the opened folder.

Note: the first couple attempts I failed as I was learning IntellijIDEA does not recognize .zip files; and if you open a higher level folder it will place the SRC files at the wrong level in the program hierarchy and will not be able to run the main.java.

Hope this helps.

Thanks.

Does winrar extract all internal zip folders?
