Service Pack 2 for XP causes that....assumes renamed zip archives are still zip [a WBA is a renamed ZIP]. right-click and 'save as', then change extension to 'wba' then they'll be saved as such...

Actually, it's Internet Explorer that changes the extensions, after Service Pack 2. Opera, and Firefox don't have this problem.
