Default Drag/drop to open zipped Excel file

A few times a week I get many large zip folders containing .TXT files
(through an FTP server), which I must unzip in order to open in Excel.
Because of the largeness of the folders, I must often delete the unzipped
version after viewing, necessitating re-unzipping the next time.

Rather than go through this cumbersome (and slow) procedure, is there any
way I open the files by draging them from the zip folder directly into Excel?
