NOTE: If you attempt to extract a file to &quot;X:&quot; without using the backslash, the file may be extracted to your desktop. If you attempt to extract a file to &quot;X&quot; (without the colon or backslash), a folder named &quot;X&quot; may be created on your desktop with the file that you are extracting placed in that folder.

To avoid this message in the future, create a folder to which you can extract files, and point the Save File in location to this folder when extracting a file with System Configuration Utility.
