How does one specify which program opens a .zip file after it is downloaded?

Presently, the download functions properly, but when I click on the file, VLC media player opens; have no idea why; how can I specify 7-zip File Manager instead?

Thank you. Appreciate.

Amazing how simple something is when one asks someone who knows what's going on . . . !

Many thanks. Appreciated.
