SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to extract a file from a compressed folder, you may be prompted to type a password even if the file is not encrypted.



CAUSE
This behavior can occur if both of the following conditions are true:
 * When you click Extract on the File menu, the compressed file is in use.
 * You are attempting to extract the file to a folder that contains an uncompressed file with the same name.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, extract the compressed file from MS-DOS or to a folder that does not contain an uncompressed file with the same name.

For information about how to extract files, see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
