    zip files being blocked


    I had a program created in C#.net that zips a folder up for me
    automatically.

    We used the zipsharp library and it seems to work great execpt when you
    try to open it using windows to extract the files from the zip.

    If you try to extract the files you get a message saying "windows has
    blocked access to these files to protect your computer" and it tells you
    you can fix this by right clicking the zip file and go to properties and
    check the "unblock" box and all will be fixed. However there is no
    "unblock" option anywhere.

    I can use winzip or winrar to open and extract the file just fine but
    windows will not work.

    It seems to be something that XP is looking for in the zip file that
    flags it as being safe or not but I don't know what it is or where to
    find it. I think this started after the release of SP2 for XP

    If I just use windows to create a zip file on my computer, I can open
    and extract it just fine.

    Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!!!!

    Thanks,

    Kory
