Zip Files

I have a problem.  In the past when I downloaded zip files, the zip folder automatically appeared on the desktop...Now another page comes up, and I have to use the extraction wizard to get the folder to the desktop.  Where can I change the setting so that it goes back to the desktop, and I can avoid the additional hassle?  I really appreciate all of the assistance you can provide!

blkqueen,

Open Windows Explorer and go to Tools|Folder Options|File Types tab. Scroll down to ZIP files and click to select it. Click the "Advanced" button and on the dialog that opens check "Confirm open after download." When you download the next Zip file a window will open asking you to specify the location you desire for the download. Select Desktop and that location should then be set as the default location for downloaded Zip files.
