I'm going to stir up some more controversy now. Windows has a very handy "special" folder called My Documents, that is shown on the desktop and in the root of the Explorer. This is where I store all my web sites that I work on.

Now, this isn't where Microsoft suggests you put websites to run under PWS or IIS, but I find it much easier, and more accessible. Every common file open dialog box has a My Documents right there!

If you agree, setup the dialog as shown below. Regardless of the folder you choose, it is important that you make sure that "Use folder names" is checked.

Note: A new folder called "cya" will automatically be created in the folder you select. So don't create a cya folder yourself and select that!

Hit the Extract button, then...
