I can extract any type of file from a WinZip zip file in some folders, but in other folders I can only extract "benign" type files (.txt, etc). If I try and extract .exe or .dll files, etc I get the "Acess is denied / Administrator privleges may be required" error.

In the Local Security Policy / Local Policies / Security Options, I have changed the User Account Control: Behavior of the elevation prompt for administrators in Admin approval mode to "Elevate without prompting".


How can I get the permission to extract any file type where I need to?
