How do you unzip a file?

Question

I want to unzip a website template and I don't know how. Could you give me step by step instructions?

Answer 1

1. grab the zipper

2.pull it down

Answer 2

If you have windows xp or above you should just be able to double click the .zip file and a wizard will guide you through as in where you want the files to be unzipped to etc. If not then download winzip (winzip.com).

Answer 3

You open up to the folder containing the .zip folder and right click on it, extract it.

Answer 4

You should be able to right-click on the file and extract because a default zip handler is built into Windows. It won't open every file though and you may need to get something better.

I recommend using 7-Zip. 7-Zip is an open source file archiver with high compression ratio.

7-Zip has a strong community backing and unlike WinZip and WinRAR is completely free (contrary to popular belief WinRAR and WinZip are not free though you can download free trials).

Answer 8

you need a Zip extractor to decompress the file as a Zip file is a compressed file format

I use AL-zip its an open source i.e. free software package, its easy to use and is a clone of Winzip

google al-zip and download from al-zips website (dont use the beta version as its unstable)

Download the file you wish to unzip click on the file and select to unzip it AL-zip will open automatically, select file/s you wish to unzip and click extract select destination for file to unzip to e.g. desktop or folder of your choice, allow AL-zip to work on unzipping the file/s this will take anything from a few seconds or minutes/hours depending on file size, how fast your computer is and if your computer is working on something else at the same time e.g. a virus scan

when the unzip is complete go to file on your computer and use the file or run the installer that has been created if it is a program that you have downloaded allow the program to install or file to set-up and you're good to go
