Need help with downloading mods!

Ok, this may just be a 'brain fart', but I'm having a problem trying to download files with the "7z" extension. Every time I left click on the file name (I'm trying to get one of the harbor traffic files) my computer opens it in Netscape and begins to fill the screen with machine language. This doesn't happen with zip files. If it's a zip file, it opens up the download prompt and lets me save it to disk. But not 7z. I know (or I think) it's a simple matter of telling the computer what to do with this, so far, strange extension. But I'm at a loss as to where this setting is. Duh!!!

Any suggestions? I've already got the program to un-compress these files, but I have to get the files saved somewhere to uncompress.
