1.3. File Compression
If you are running short on hard drive space, you can save precious free space by creating
compressed folders that automatically compress every file and folder that you put into
them. Zipped (compressed) files take up less storage space and can be transferred to
other computers more quickly than uncompressed files.
Zip File or Folder
1. In Windows, navigate to the file/folder you
want to zip, and right-click it.
2. On the menu that pops up, roll your mouse
over Send to, then click Compressed
(zipped) folder.
Unzip File or Folder
1. In Windows, navigate to the zipped
(compressed) file you want to Unzip, and
right-click it. On the menu that pops up,
roll your mouse over Open with, then click
Windows Explorer.
