If you will have a lot I cannot tell you the best one but if you only have a few then download WinZip or 7-Zip or..

You select or create where you want the unzipped contents of the file to be then you select the contents of the .zip file, then click "Extract to" and ...

Nope, just retarded.

How is it possible that in the year 2013 somebody doesn't know how to open a zip file? Just fucking click on it once or twice.

That's way beyond retarded. Barbara is the (slightly more) male version of PhuketBound.

Opening it is easy. Closing it is more tricky. Try not to get your virtual ballbag/foreskin caught!

Has anyone tried Viagra? I heard it'll sustain the flight but you are responsible for the take off. That sucks! What good is that?

some of the knock off brands are said to contain heavy metals which I suspect could be a bit of a downer

But we all can, you just have to type into the Google box at the top right

Or you obviously can type it into an anonymous forum and be called a thick couple of cunts

I dare say there's things I can do which you can't. The one thing I wouldn't do is rub your face in the fact. Hold on I think I'm talking at cross purposes here. Is opening a zip file the same as unzipping one?

**Bettyboo** · 05-12-2013, 06:49 PM

Nowadays, I find the pocket files easier than the zip files, I think they're the best option.

Buy them here:

a zip file is a term for a compressed file

.zip file extension , though in the last few years .7z has also been common

unix/linux commonly uses tarballs , .tar or .targz file extension

7zip has become a reasonably common utility to unzip/decompress files though windows does have its own built in native support for some common compression files.

winzip used to be favoured , but as far as I know malicious software had ways of using its decompression to install virus'/trojans etc when you unzipped/decompressed a file
