How do I open .zip files on my macbook air?

I'm unable to open .zip on my MacBook Air. When I double click on the .zip folder it creates another zip icon in the finder and renames it as .zip.cpgz. I easily


could open zip on my MacBook Pro just by double clicking.

MacBook Air, Mac OS X (10.7)

Secondary click on a zip file, and select Get Info.

Then find the Open With pane, select Open With Archive Utility.app, and set check box to change all so that in the future, all zip files will automatically open with the Archive utility.


In case you need to find the App, it is located in system/library/Core Services/Archive utility.app
