How To Unzip Files Using Winzip

Click OPEN and select the drive which contains the files you wish to unzip.

Use the Extract button on the toolbar to display the Extract dialog box. Use the Extract dialog box to extract or "unzip" files from the open archive to your hard disk. WinZip extracts files from the archive to the folder specified in the Extract To field. You can specify this folder in one of four ways:

  1. Select a folder and drive in the Folders/Drives list boxes.
  2. Type a folder name in the Extract To field.
  3. Pull down the Extract To combo box and select a folder from the list of previous Extract To folders.
  4. Press the Create Dir... button and create a folder.

  5. The Extract dialog box provides the following options:
    • The Selected Files radio button instructs WinZip to extract only files that are selected in the main WinZip window.
    • The All Files radio button instructs WinZip to extract all files from the archive.
    • The Files radio button and edit field allow you to specify which files are extracted using filenames or standard MS-DOS wildcards, for example, "*.XLS *.DOC" (don't type the quotes).
    • The Overwrite Existing Files check box determines whether you are prompted before existing files are overwritten with files from the archive. It corresponds to the PKUNZIP -o option, the LHA /m1 option, and the ARJ -y option.
    • The Use Folder Names check box determines whether WinZip will use folder names (also known as path names) stored in the archive. You will probably want to check this option for most extract operations. If this option is checked any folder names stored in the archive will be appended to the Extract To folder when appropriate. If this option is not checked all files will be extracted to the same folder, regardless of any folder names in the archive. For example, assuming the Extract To folder is "c:\temp", the file "mydir\filename" will be extracted to the folder "c:\temp\mydir" if the Use Folder Names option is checked, or the folder "c:\temp" if the option is not checked.
    • This option corresponds to the PKUNZIP -d -p options, the LHA x option, and the ARJ x option.
    • The Create Dir button activates the Create Folder dialog box. Note that you can extract files and create a folder in without this dialog box: simply type the name of the new folder in the Extract To field of the Extract dialog box and press the Extract button.


    Notes:

    · You can also extract files using the Drag and Drop Interface as described in the section titled Extracting Files from an Archive with the Drag and Drop Interface.

    · You can change the default Extract To folder using the Folders dialog box.
