Try installing a third party achive program such as IZarc (
http://www.izarc.org/ ) and allow that to handle your archives rather
than Windows.
 
1. Use a third-party zip handler like WinZip
2. Move the .zip file to a FAT32 partition, and move it back. This ensures
that the zone information attached to that file is reset.
