I appreciate your reply, but...
1. the torpedo itself is not an active link to anything...it is merely an icon.
2. When I do click on a hot download link I get, in the Cownload folder:
"Unconfirmed 4000570.download"
3. If I drag this to a clean LSH3 folder on my E: drive and select it to open it there...
3. I get: 7z LSH3-2022-Full.exe
7z LSH3-2022-Multiinstaller.exe

There is no "LSH3-2022-Installation.exe" and what files are there for extraction and/or installation are fixed as 7z files. And you tell me that trying to open LSH3-2022-full.exe is not the correct one. OK, but then...?

At no time have I elected, or selected, or desired, or tried to open anything with 7z - the files as they are downloaded and opened are 7z fixed and there is no escape.

I have complained about this before and have been chastised for "trying to open these files in 7zip". That has never been my goal. But, tell me, how do I open files that LSH3 itself downloads as 7z files, especially when they are "password" locked?

I believe that FUBAR (or someone) had a link that did work and did not download a file to me that was 7z. But I no longer have his link.

Sorry for the tone, but my frustration is at a high level.
