Zip file help ;-; please? ~?

Question

I dont know why, but my computer doesn't seem to recognize zip files anymore. No, I'm not low on space and yes I've tried the WinZip program (which didnt work, btw).

To explain EXACTLY what it does, it thinks that zip files are notepad files. Perhaps I accidently went in and changed some type of setting???

I've provided a screenshot of what it does so that someone with expertise in this area can better assist me.

Thank you ;~; <3
