Helpful Hints ~ Unzipping a Zipped Folder                    

 

Once we have downloaded a zipped folder filled with Tutorials, Digital Kits, Papers, or Supplies, we now need to open the folder, “unzip” it, and re-save it to our computer as an unzipped folder. Follow the steps below to learn how!

 

Step 1: Navigate Back to Your Folder

 

 

 

Navigate back to the folder that you saved the recent (zipped) download in

 

In this example, I downloaded some free digital scrapbooking papers, and saved them to a folder I previously created called “Digital Papers”

 

 

 

Step 2: Locate your Zipped Filed

 

 

 

Here you can see my zipped download was successfully saved in this folder to my computer

 

You can tell that the file is a zipped file because of the zipper icon over the folder

 

You can also tell that it is a zipped file because of the file extension at the end of the file name which says: .zip

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 3: Extract the Zipped Folder

 

 

 

Right click once with your mouse and a pop up will appear

 

Choose Extract All

 

 

 

A pop up will appear

 

Choose Next

 

 

 

 

It brings up the folder that you would like to save your unzipped file in

 

Then choose Next

 

 

 

 

 

 

Be patient as the extracting may take a minute or two

 

 

 

Once it has finished extracting, choose Finish

 

 

 

Step 4: Open the Extracted Zipped Folder

 

 

 

You have now successfully extracted the folder into an uncompressed, unzipped folder! You can now open it and use the tutorials, or digital supplies.
