Here is one way.

Find a .zip file, right click and select Properties (or Alt-Enter).

On the General Tab, it will say Type:  Archive Zip.  To the right, there
will be an icon with a tool.  Click on that.

Go to the Embedding tab and select "Show file in separate viewer", then
Apply and OK.

You should see it Updating the system settings.

OK,  OK.

Now you are all set.
