Downloading .pes files on Windows 10

I am trying to download machine embroidery designs on my Windows 10 laptop. When I unzip the file, there's numerous files, including an adobe file, listed. I can't view any of them or transfer the .pes file to my Brother machine. Is this a glitch with
Windows 10? Any help appreciated.

 

how do I stop my embroidery designs (PES files) from automatically going to microsoft paint folder

when I buy an embroidery design off the internet in PES format ( which is Brother's embroidery machine format) and usually a zipped file. I click on the design, it downloads it and automatically is sent to Microsoft Paint. I use WinRAR, click extract to:
PES folder then when I click on the design it says

C:\User\Lenovo\Desktop\PES\PES sock pony-\a.pes

Paint cannot read this file

This is not a valid bitmap file, or it's format is not currently supported

On my old computer , Windows 7 , the design would automatically go into my embroidery software.

How do I stop this from happening.
