How to use Winzip to extract .zip archives:
First of all you need to install the Winzip Software which is free to try. Go to www.winzip.com, download the trial version and install it on your PC. When the setup is done, you are able to open .zip archives by double-clicking them in your windows file manager.
When you open a .zip archive with Winzip, you will see the Winzip window that shows all files within the .zip file in a list. Please don't click anywhere in this list, since you want to extract not just a single file from the archive, but all of them. This is done by clicking on the "Extract" button at the top. A new window opens that asks you where you want to save the files from within the .zip archive. Please select an existing folder on your hard drive or create a new one at a place of your choice. After selecting the destination folder, select "use folder names" (this will restore the original sub-folders of the files) and click on "Extract". Winzip will now copy all files from within the .zip archive into the specified destination folder. That's it, basically there are just 3 clicks needed to extract a .zip archive.
