renderosity zip file downloads as Photoshop file

in Technical Help (nuts n bolts)
Starting recently, Renderosity purchases are downloading as Photoshop files. They can't be opened in Photoshop, of course. Because it's a zip file, I can't seem to unzip it this way, and I don't know what the file extension should be or how to reroute the computer to that file extension. Any help? Thanks in advance.

    Just Renderosity zips or zip[s in general? Which browser are you using?

    You could try 7zip.  It seems to decompress just about anything.

    No, it's NOT "downloading it as Photoshop file". You set Photoshop as the default program for zip files.

    This is for Windows:

    Type default into the search bar. Windows will show you the "Default apps" system setting. Click it. Scroll down. Click Choose default applications by file type. Scroll down until you find .zip. Click on the Photoshop icon and select Windows Explorer.

    You are done.

    unfortunately I'm now thinking it's a problem in general. Bought a photoshop action and it also downloaded incorrectly.

    thanks - I'll check that. But since it started happening suddenly with no such change, it's questionable I reset a default?

    Ascania - yep, that did it.  Don't know how that was reset, but thanks a million.
