That way it's easier to find and view them later and avoid a mess in the original folder. Still one click, but instead of Extract here select Extract to.. from the same menu. 
 The simplest way is to choose default folder which has the same name as the ZIP archive. In our example - birthday party. With this option all photos are extracted into new separate folder with name birthday party next to the archive. 
 If you don't like that name - select New folder. It's almost the same, but first B1 prompts you how to name new folder. 
 You can use any title, for example let's change it to Clara's birthday party. Click OK and all photos will be unpacked into folder Clara's birthday party, still next to the archive. 
 That's it. As we promised – couldn't be simpler, open zip and get files with a single click.
