How to Unzip a Folder

Now most of you are going to go right past this post, because you know how to unzip a folder. But I get lots of emails asking me “Flip – what do I do with the folder that has a zipper on it?” So let me explain, so that no one feels lost.

When you download a zipped folder, the first thing you have to do is unzip that folder. Now I’m assuming that you have either WinZip on your computer, or you’ve downloaded 7-Zip ( a nice little freebie – I love free things!). So all you have to do is right click on the folder, and unzip it into a new folder, preferably called the same name.

So, for this example, you’ve received a folder called newblog.zip. You need to right click and unzip the folder called newblog.zip into a folder called newblog.

Now your folder is unzipped, and you rock!!!!
