How to Unzip a
File
Zipped files are
compressed, saving space. This makes downloading files from the
Internet faster. Most zipped files end with the .zip extension.
These files must be “unzipped” before they can be used.
Click on any
link above to quickly jump to the corresponding section.
On Microsoft Windows XP and Vista, unzip
support is built-in.
-
Double-click the zipped file to open it up.
- In the
window that opens, click Extract all files.
The
Extraction Wizard opens.
- Click
Next to continue.
- In the
Select a Destination panel, select the location where you want
the folder to be placed (by default this will be in a subfolder
of the folder the .zip file is in), for example, the Desktop.
Click Next to extract the files.
- In the
Extraction Complete panel, select Show extracted files.
Check Finish. The unzipped files appear in a
new window.
- The files
contained within the Zip file will be unzipped into the folder
you specified.

will no longer pop up).

the files you want extracted to a normal file. Press the
Extract button at the top.

Another
window will appear. Choose the folder you want to put the files
in (for example the Desktop), and press Extract.
