Hello fellow crafters,  I've written this brief guide in order to help my customers understand better the process of extracting, or unzipping my downloadable products.  If you find this guide helpful, please vote for it!

Description
Windows XP has a standard utility for unzipping files. Zipped files are compressed, saving space.  This makes downloading files from the Internet faster and saves having to download files individually, which can be a very laborious task!  Most zipped files end with the .zip extension.

Procedure
1. Double click the zipped file.

2. In the window that opens, click Extract all files.

The Extraction Wizard opens.

3. Click Next.

4. In the Select a Destination panel, select the location where you want the folder to be placed, for example, the My Documents folder. Click Next.

5. In the Extraction Complete panel, select Show extracted files. Check Finish. The unzipped files appear in a new window.

6. That's it! You can now view the contents of the zipped file.
