creeksidecandles Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Winzip is not a program perse...but a method by which you can "crunch" files together into 1 file so that you may send it to someone via e-mail, at a much smaller file size than the original files. The technical term being to compress files into smaller ones. You should be able to "unzip" or extract the files by simply clicking on the file itself and it will ask you where you want to extract the files. Just remember where you extracted the files...I suggest you create a folder and extract them into it....otherwise you could have those files spread out in your C drive and not be able to recover them. PM me if you still need help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nodtveidt Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Actually, Winzip IS a program...what you're thinking of is "zip". Winzip is a Windows-based implementation of an archiving program that primarily supports the Zip format. However, there are plenty of free archiving programs that you can use instead of Winzip (which frankly, is one of the worst out there, and they make you pay for their overhyped garbage). This one's got a lot of claim to fame:FreeZIPas well as this one:7-zip7-zip is becoming the "new standard" for archiving and has its own higher-compression format (7z) in addition to regular old Zip (plus many more).
