You don’t have to rename them, doing so would just make windows default to using the builtin zip extractor.
If you have 7-zip you can just right click the file you wan to explore and try to extract it.
Comment on Most file types are just a renamed .zip
mumblerfish@lemmy.world 1 month agoI got that from the other answers. I was just very confused why I’d have to rename them to “.zip”.
I still don’t get why it is “most” files.

Ah, right, that is how windows works.

I don’t think “most” applies here. Text-based files, pdf, media files and most executeable files are not .zip.
