What happens if you rename the file, say to something like "filename.dms.bin" ?

When you d/l it, just rename it.

No, not a file... Windows thinks it's a zip archive and it proceeds to treat that archive as a directory - at least it does in XP Pro. The 'problem' is probably that the archive wasn't created properly as a .zip in the first place.

Mind you, I don't know why you can't see the extension...

You might also want to try .raw as an extension, it is particularly suitable for files that can be considered bytewise, whereas .bin is eminently suited to a bitwise approach.

Informative. That's a useful feature.

It sounds usual for MS. Earlier version has 'everything' enabled by default and is not secure as a result - you have to do things to make it safer. Later version has 'everything' disabled by default and is now secure but lots of things no longer work - you now have to do things to get functionality back.

Improved stability is not to be sniffed at though.
