    Opening a Zip Folder/File


    I have followed all steps to open the Zip drive. Right clicking to extract just the folder has the file disappear. Extracting the file only does not encourage the file to open or move to a different location. Moving the file from the zipped folder to the desktop does not move the file. I have followed the how to on Microsoft and it's not making a difference. Is there another way I can open a zip folder/file?

    :)

    Folders with zip files

    I have like 30 or more folders and everyone of them has only one single zip file.
    How can I extract all zip files inside of all folders?

    Folders with zip files

    just go to the root folder and do a search for all zip files, then select all and extract where you want.

    Opening a Zip Folder/File

    Can't open Zip Files


    When I click a zip file all the options are grayed out. If I right click I do not have an Extract option. If I click Send to Compressed (Zip ) folder it makes another copy in the same folder. What is the next step? How do I open zip this?
    Thank you
