    The whole point is most people don’t want a third party app.

    I also think for most users treating them as a normal folder makes complete sense.

    Chances are you aren’t the target audience of the default configuration of windows. It’s aimed at people who have trouble checking their email.

      Yes. How to change it?

        Pay Microsoft to the point where they make more money from you than their current target audience.

          What are you even talking about? Archives have been so much easier to use on Linux for many years, because that headline was built-in.

          What distro do you use which thinks an archive file needs executable permissions?

          Alternatively, what distro / file explorer can’t recognize the MIME types for archives (which has nothing to do with permissions but it’s the only relevant error that makes sense)?
