This is great, but I honestly hate the way that windows treats zips like they are just folders on your computer when they are fundamentally different, and I want to do different things with them. Sure, it's nice to be able to browse the files inside, but I can do that with 7zip.

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.
