Information on "Unzipping" a zipped file:

1. Click on the winzip file.

2. When the program asks if you want to open the file or save it, pick open. Agree to all the legal stuff - now you should see a list of the files contained in the zip file.

3. Click on extract - then select where you want to extract the files to (don't get nervous - just keep reading). It is important that you remember where you extracted the files to. A subfolder in "My documents" is always a good place.

4. Once the extraction is complete close down the zip file. You are done! Now go to the folder on your hard drive where you saved everything and open up the file(s).
