try right clicking, where you downloaded it from, there might be more options that way. Also, don't forget to "check" ... "always ask about this type of file"

It depends on what type of file your downloading, it might automatically call those programs, what you can do is right click on the file in your windows browser and choose "open with" then choose a program from the list, the program you would like to open the file in

In general, just right click, choose "Save As", pick a location. Then go open the file you just saved.\n\nIf that doesn't make sense, tell us what email program/website you're using and we'll try to give you specific instructions.

Like they say, ZIPIT! Before you do tho keep in mind the people you are sending it to wont be able to view it unless they too have the proper software.

WinZip is built into Windows XP.  Just double click on the file and it should open as a folder.  Once in, look on the upper right hand side and you will see an UnZip option.  From there it's just Browsing and Extracting.

You don't have to, when the file is downloaded, the file is saved automatically on your computer.\nLook at the download directory from Limewire settings.

Use any zip softwares and use extract to option to unzip the specific file. Make sure the destination you have chosen is right.

Why would you want to pause the download anyway? \nYou can just let download finish and by the time you wake up the downloading is finish, hopefully. And you can enjoy what you have downloaded.

Unless it's an open source application, chances are you won't be able to tell and you won't be able to edit it. When you download a program, you get an executable that's been compiled for your operating system. All you can do with that executable is run it. You can't edit the source.

Yes I do the problem is that the size of the file must be too large or you have Dial-Up. I think its the file is too large try reconnecting your modem. Good Luck Finding out what it is

Many times a self-extracting executable is bundled with a software distribution.  The idea here is the end user doesn't have to worry about having an unzip utility.  Many times they are also set up so that the installation of the software starts immediately after the extraction.  Thus saving the end user from extra steps, like clicking on the setup program.

Hmm.. Usually when you download a Widget, it has a zip file with a .widget file in it.. Did you try rebooting after installing Yahoo! Widgets? Cause sometimes the operating system will have some trouble opening the new file. If that doesnt work, sorry, maybe consult the FAQ..?
