How to, download and install WinZip.

1. Download the software. You can find it at:

 http://www.winzip.com

2. To download, follow the instructions at that site. Note the name of the file as you download it.
3. Once you've downloaded the file, open Windows Explorer by clicking Start, Programs, and then Windows Explorer.
4. Open the folder on your hard drive where you saved the software. If you aren't sure where you saved the file, click Start; choose Find, then Files or Folders. Enter WinZip as the file to find. Double-click the name of the downloaded file. A dialog box will open. Click Setup.
5. Another dialog box will appear. It will ask you where you want WinZip installed (c:Program FilesWinZip is the default). Click OK. The Install Wizard will start.
6. Click Next. The next dialog box will ask you if you agree to the terms of the license agreement. Read the agreement before proceeding and click Yes.
7. You will be asked if you want the "Wizard" interface or the "Classic" interface. The "Wizard" interface is for beginners, the "Classic" interface is for more experienced users. (You can easily switch back and forth between the two different interfaces when running WinZip.) You will be asked more questions as the installation wizard proceeds, and you may make choices based on your personal preferences. When in doubt, select the default or recommended option(s).
8. When you are done, you will have shortcuts in your Start menu and/or your Desktop, depending on the options you chose during the installation process. You can use these icons and shortcuts to launch WinZip. In addition, you will find that when you drag zip files around in Explorer, you will have the option of extracting the file's contents into the target folder rather than just copying the file over.
