Using the WinZip Utility program
Installing a new font? Click here.
1. Double click the .zip file you want to extract and WinZip will open. If you have not paid for the program yet, you will have click the "Agree" to the shareware agreement.
2. If it isn't in the Wizard mode, select that.
3. By default the first option will be selected, "Unzip or install from an existing zip file".
4. Click Next.
5. The next window will show the file you're extracting, and below that a text box named "selected folder". The default setting is C:\unzipped\filename.
6. If this is what is showing click "Unzip Now" (recommended), OR
7. Use the "Select different folder" button to change the unzipped file location if you like. This will open an Explorer type interface (the pathway to your file location). Select the folder you want to use for the files once they are unzipped. I think it is best to use a folder you have created for your files just because it is easier to find later.
8. Then click "Unzip Now".
9. Once the files are unzipped, click "close" on the Wizard.
The Unzipped folder will be open on your desktop. You can drag an Icon from the folder to your desktop and create a shortcut to the file.
"Zipping" or Compressing a file
It is easy to "zip" or compress a file, or even a group of files together into one. Compressed files are smaller in size, and so they are easier to email.
|
|
If you're wanting to email the zipped file, just right click on it, and choose the "Zip and E-Mail (filename.zip)" |
|
Open the folder where the pictures are saved (My Pictures, in this example). Click the "File" menu, the the Folder command. Type in a name (6-Pictures, in this example). |
To send more than one picture, you can create a new folder, then zip that folder. In this example, we'll create a new folder named "6-Pictures" (because we'll move 6 picture into it).
Once you've made your new folder, drag or copy/paste the pictures into you wish to send into the new folder. |
|
Then right click on the folder and choose "Add to (folder name.zip)" Add to 6-Pictures.zip in this example. |
The new zipped file will appear at the bottom of the folders and files. To quickly find it, click "View" and then "Refresh". The list will be reordered |
|
The new .zip file will be created in the same folder (My Pictures, in this example). Then you can easily mail the new zipped file right from the store folder. |
To quickly find your new zipped file, click "View" / Refresh" If you have set the "sort" preference to "By Name" it will be arranged alphabetically. |
|
Right click on the zipped file, and choose, "Send To" Then click on "Mail Recipient" |
|
|
The .zipped file will be added to a "New Mail" message. Just add the recipient's name and send it. |

I hope this helps!
