    Access denied to zip file

    Hi Stephanie,

    The issue that you're experiencing may be due to a corrupted user profile. We have found a workaround regarding the "Access denied" error. Kindly follow the steps below.

    • Press Windows key + E to open File Explorer.
    • Copy the files that you want to zip.
    • Paste it in the Downloads folder.
    • From there, zip your file. You may follow the steps provided in this
      article      .

    Feel free to contact us if you need assistance with Windows.

    Can't open Zip Files


    The icon for the .zip file suggests it doesn't have a program associated with it. Windows does have built-in support for .zip files but something must have happened to that feature. I usually recommend the free 7-Zip for working with compressed files, helps in diagnosing where a problem may lie. I found the file on the 'net, downloaded it and opened fine.

    cannot open a zip file after MS Download

    Zip File

    Good Evening

    I have this evening downloaded a zip file which is showing as a "zip Archive" in my Downloads.

    I have not got a clue about zip files.

    I am unable to open this file.

    How do I get access to the contents of the file?

    I am a complete novice so a simple step by step guide on how to access the contents of the file and use it would be a great help to me.

    Regards
