I have some zip files that are showing as Opera web documents. They were downloaded a couple of months ago. How do I recover the data from the files (images). When I open them in browser they re-download as an Opera web document. There is no option to unzip when I right click.

@Fatimakhan0-0 It seems that you have set up Opera as the app to handle zip files. You need to go to Windows Settings and change it in the default apps section.

@Fatimakhan0-0 Opera never handled Zip files, so I'm not sure what to tell you.

@Fatimakhan0-0 Right click on the file - Open With.., choose your Zip handler app

@leocg Oh, I get it. It isn't a Zip file at all. It's a URL for a Zip file online and Windows is hiding the real extension. Or perhaps HTML of an error page. If the original file for a URL is still available it should download and ask to save it as a proper Zip file which would then open with Explorer. On the other hand if all you get is an error message nothing we can help you with.
