[Electronics-Talk] No zip utility in windows

[Steve Jacobson]

To add to what Dale as already said, there is some zip and unzip capabilities built into Windows.  You can treat zip files as regular folders and access the content that way.  You can also copy files out of a zipped folder into another folder and the file should be expanded when you past it into another location.

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson

Look for the word "Extract" in the Context Menu.

Hi All,
I have a very strange problem with a Dell computer using windows 10. There is absolutely no unzip utility in this machine. If I focus on a zip folder it wants to play it and give me all kinds of options like even to send it to compressed zip, but no way can I unzip a folder. Does anybody have any ideas as to why this might be the case? How can I get this back. If nothing else, I will simply install another program that will do it. But if anybody has any ideas, that would be super. Thanks
