Janina how can one unzip a .exe file?
Also, viruses can do massive damage on temporary user accounts. I don't
believe this would be a wise course of action to pursue. I believe you
might be thinking about this advice on a Linux box, but certainly not on
Windows.
Take care,
Sina

Why not just create a temp user and make that user the owner of this
file? Log in as that user and try to unzip the .exe. Maybe it's
something you want, and maybe it's junk. But you certainly won't trash
any system files this way.
