How To Unzip Files

Help Unzipping Files

You’ve learned to download files and now what do you do with them? Most seem to have the .zip extension. These files (.zip) are compressed PC files which make downloading large files a much quicker job. But to utilize these files, you’ll need to unzip them first. Here’s how to do that:

You need to have installed an unzipping program, such as WinZip (Shareware) or try this freeware that is similar: JustZIPit (Freeware)

  • Ensure your unzipping software is installed
  • Now whenever you have a file that you need to unzip, just right click on that file and select “Extract To” or “Extract To Folder” (for Winzip) or “JustUnzipit” (for the JustZIPit program).
  • Your unzipping program will now unzip the file contents to the location you specified.

You can either trash the zip file or save it to another location on your computer if you’d like to keep a copy ‘just in case’.

Now open your newly unzipped folder and you’ll find everything unzipped.
