I need simple instructions on how to decompression of files.

I'm unable to decompress the files. Double click here or right click who told me. Me says to "drag and drop a file somewhere."

I am computer illiterate, so it's Greek to me. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.

Where can I find this! Thank you.

    Zip (compression) of files and folders

    Right click on a file or a folder with many files it contains, point to send to, and then select the compressed file (zipped file).

    Windows Vista will compress (zip) the file or folder and save the new file zipped in the same place as the original file.

    Unzip (unzip) files and folders

    You can unzip a file in several different ways.

    Double-click the zipped file

    To decompress a file, the easiest method is to double-click it. It will open a window with the contents of zipped files. You can click on extract all files or drag the files from the window to the desired location (example: office).

    If you choose to click on extract all files, the files are extracts (uncompressed) in the same location as the original file, unless you specify a location in the Destination box, and extract the files that appears when you choose to extract them.

    Right-click on the zipped file

    Right click on the zip file and select extract all. The Select a Destination window will open and extract files and you can choose if you want to save the files in the same location as the original file, or you can choose where you want to save the unzipped files by clicking Browse and choose a new location.

    Personally, I download, install and use 7-Zip for all needs in my compression/decompression (in general).

  • How to decompress a file service with Adobe Reader?

    I said I need Adobe Reader to decompress a file clean, but I don't see anything about this anywhere on the Adobe site. Can anyone help?

    Hi chrisjeant84285729,

    You cannot decompress a file by using the Reader app. Adobe Reader is a PDF reader not a zipped files Extractor.

    Use Winrar to extract the files & folders.

    Kind regards

  • How to move the FILE from one place to another and keep "Indexing" have to move to the unknown location so you can't discover its full file path? Windows instructions provide information wrong re: how to do this!

    Make a bunch of audio files, placed in a folder on my desktop. Files initially sent to RealPlayer to burn, but when finished burning CD and went to read a CD, folder got seized by Media Player, 'Indexed' and disappeared from the office. I'm a relatively new computer user, and I need to learn more about file paths, how to view the path FULL of a file on my computer and how to type (create) full path when I need to. The "Indexing" feature seems to erase this lesson for me, and after having spent four hours trying to find Vista instructions on "How to move the file from one place to another", I gave up! Windows 'Help and Support' on my computer gives wrong directions. It states that if I right click on a folder > properties, a dialog box opens with a tab by which I can move my account. There is no tab location here. I found locations tab when right click on the "Mobile" folder, but still no option to "move file". No idea what is the folder "Roaming" or why it's on my computer. I want my audio files in the My Music folder, but this place is "access denied." Don't know how to get the audio file it in any case, but if anyone has any advice, I would be very happy! Thank you. PS - I had no problem moving folders in XP. I don't like the idea that a computer is to decide where to put my files. I want to control where I put my files. I don't like the way search works under Vista. I liked the XP search companion better because, for a computer fool like me, it was really easy to organize and find files and folders and had an option specific to find audio and video file TYPES.

    Here is an article on how to move your personal folders in Vista: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/moving-your-personal-data-folders-in-windows-vista-the-easy-way/.  If you're talking about the special folders (such as photos, Documents, office...), then here is an article on how to move: http://www.winhelponline.com/articles/95/1/How-to-move-the-special-folders-in-Windows-Vista.html.

    If you have trouble with the search after you move the files, then rebuild the index: http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/2103/vista_rebuilding_the_search_index/.  Here is an article on how to use Indexing Options in Vista that may be useful for you: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/69581-indexing-options.html.

  • How to create random file names

    I have a folder containing 600 JPEG files. I want to replace the current file with those randomly generated names. So instead of files names IMG_11.jpg, IMG_12.jpg, IMG_13.jpg, I don't want to see something like 342.jpg, 8.jpg 107.jpg.

    Could someone smart give me a code that would do this. I want to change ONLY the names of files in this folder.

    I need simple instructions and comprehensive on how to run the code, suitable for a young man is no longer in the brain.

    I DON'T want TO change the name of each file by hand. I CERTAINLY DON'T want TO cut-and - paste or other references to Movie Maker or any other manufacturer of trade show.

    Please read each question carefully before answering. I tried to ask before and gotten completely irrelevant responses that make me tired.

    Hi David,

    Thanks for posting the question in the Microsoft Community.

    Unfortunately, you will not be able to run a code to change the names of files in bulk. However, you can try to look for a third-party software that might help.

    Note: using third-party software or a link, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third party software or link can be resolved. Using third-party software or a link is at your own risk.

    Thank you.
