Refusing to use Winzip to decompress Win XP itself

The operating system itself before Windows XP does not provide decompression. If you want to decompress a compressed file, we must install the decompression software such as winzip and winrar. Now, Windows XP has a simple and practical decompression function built in, which makes it easy for beginners to master. Everyone should look carefully, because this is a must-have skill!

1. Double-click the desktop icon "My Computer" and find the file you want to extract, as shown in the figure AAA.zip. In fact, the compressed file is easy to identify, and its icon is a folder with a zipper. Select the file, click the right mouse button, a pop-up menu will appear, find the "Extract All (A)..." command, click it. (Figure 1)

2, you will find the system started the "Compressed Folder Extraction Wizard", click the "Next" button. (Figure 2)

3. At this point you have to select a folder to store the extracted files. You have two choices: 1 The system will by default generate a folder with the same name as the extracted file in the current folder. For example, in this example, the system will automatically generate a folder named AAA in the root directory of the G drive. 2 Click the “Browse” button to bring up a selection window where you can select a folder to save the extracted files. If you don't have the right folder, you can also click on "New Folder" to create a folder and name it. (Figure 3)

We will use the system default folder, but if the folder contains a password, you also need to enter a password. If the entered password is incorrect, we can't decompress this compressed file, so be sure to remember this password! Click "Next" and you will see a progress bar below the password input box showing the decompression process. (Figure 4)

Tip: When selecting a folder, you can click on the + sign in front of the drive letter to expand all folders.

4. After the decompression is completed, the system will pop up the “Extraction End” message box. It tells us that the file has been successfully unzipped. If we want to see what's in the zip, then click on the small box in front of "Show extracted files" and have it tick. Click the "Finish" button. (Figure 5)

5, the system will automatically open the AAA folder, we can see that there is a copylock.exe and readme.txt file in this compressed file. The decompression process has now ended. How is it, very simple, have you learned? (Figure 6)
