Ah, and to add to my post from earlier: Extracting an archive on double-click is also not standard-behaviour on any other system I know of, so it's unexpected behaviour and imo if users (esp. the unexperienced ones) get unexpected behaviour they normally freak out completely and set the monitor on fire ;)
Seriously: for me there is nothing worse than unexpected (overreacting) behaviour. Programs should not do stuff based on assumptions about what the user might like. I tell the program what it shall do and it does it, it's that easy.
