On my desktop when I open up a .zip file it puts the folder right on top o the .zip icon... is there a way to prevent this?
Got a tip for us?

Any way to prevent files, when decompressed/unzipped from stacking on each other?

Just checked and it's already enabled... only seems to work when I physically move a file around, then it'll snap to the grid, but not when I extract files.
I do this currently but when working with a large amount of .zip files it's becoming annoying
go here: HD>System>CoreServices. find ArchiveUtility, open it. in preferences, set it to delete archive after expanding (there are some other useful options as well)...
Awesome, would have never found that thing... works perfect
am actually amazed it's not an easily-accessible option. lots of friends have desktops littered with old zip files...
