Zipped files (known by many names, see the table to the right, but in this document called "zipped files") are one or more files on a computer disk that have been combined into a single file in a space-efficient manner to reduce their total file size. This is very useful when disk space is limited or when people download files. Since multiple files can be stored in a zipped file, a single file can be downloaded then unzipped to easily download many files at once. You can think of a zipped file as a set of books on a shelf:
The set of books is arranged so that they take a very small amount of space, but you can't use or read them while arranged in this compressed manner.
Unzipping files

If you have installed a zip program, such as WinZip* or 7-Zip*, Windows Compressed Folders may not be easily available on your computer. If you follow the instructions below for Windows Compressed Folders, but a different program opens, you can still follow the instructions listed, and it should generally still work.

Windows also sometimes places "Extract files" links in toolbars which may be useful to you. Windows generally opens a wizard to ask where you want the files extracted. The location of the "extract files" tool varies depending on how Windows Explorer is set up and what version of Windows you are using.
