Windows 10: How do I open the contents of the contents of a gz file?

I have a website backup in a gz file.

In Windows 7, I could penetrate this file without, I'm pretty sure, any add-on software. I think 7's compressed file tools opened the .gz file fine, and then each subfolder and its contents and subfolders was navigable.

In Windows 10, I had to install a zip utility - I picked 7zip - and that easily extracted the "contents" of the .gz file. But what I got was a 45 Mb file - not folder - just named with the contents of the archive. No extension. Just "yourarchive" (the name of the actual archive) as a file name. And 7zip can't do anything with this file. Even if I change the extension to zip.

I think in Windows 7, the gz file would extract to a compressed folder (so name but no extension), that could then be explored.

So my question is what do I do with this big file-not-folder (that is probably actually a folder) in Windows 10, so that I may explore it?

RetailDemo Offline Content?


Was cleaning up my 10162 install using cleanmgr. One option on the list was "RetailDemo Offline Content", it was 100MB. Not sure what this is, before I delete it. Suggestions?

 

Print content of files in a folder

I'm looking for a way to print the content of files (not a list of the files) that I have placed in a folder that I created, without opening each file individually.
