this video we're going to take a look at
how to open and extract information from
a zip file I have a zip file right here
as you can see it has kind of a zipper
on it to indicate that it is a zip file
zip file simply you can store more
information than a regular file folder
like this one could all right now
opening them works a little bit
differently if I double click on just a
regular old file folder it'll have
whatever documents are in it listed
right here and I can just click on those
documents and open it if I double click
on this messy desktop simulation it's
going to have a lot of different items
in it okay and I can take these one at a
time and bring them out all that kind of
stuff but I don't want to do that I want
to extract the files which means
basically it's going to take whatever's
in here and put it wherever I want to in
this case I'm going to have it be put on
the desktop okay now it's really easy to
extract the files you might see it
already all you're going to do is click
this extract all files I'll click on
this now it's asking me where what I
want to where do I want to put the files
I click browse select desktop and click
OK and then I just click extract and
it'll take a moment but all the various
documents and such will come up and
notice I've now put all of that on my
desktop very quickly ok again that's a
zip file you don't just open zip files
you extract information from zip files
and this has been how to extract
documents from a zip file
