How to Unzip a File or Dolder with Winzip

When downloading files online, or even receiving an email you will often receive a ZIPPED folder. A zipped folder is a compressed version of a large document which allows it to be sent and received at a faster speed, and also allows you to save something without taking up a lot of space on your computer.
