Help with unzipping files

A Zip file, sometimes called an archive file, contain one or more files compressed to a smaller size.

You will need to unzip or extract the files before you are able to use the compressed files.

2. Doubleclicking the file should start the unzipping process. The uncompressed files will appear in the same location as the downloaded Zip file.

3. The original Zip file can be deleted after extraction.
