Different kind of question that has me stumped

Hi rbenn55,

Lemur is right. Locate the actual file, and right click it to see the compression option. Also, there's an application known as WinRAR. It's the best for archiving and zipping folders and files. You might like to consider downloading it from 'Here' and implementing it in your further computing. Best of luck.

Thanks,

I am going to hijack this thread a bit (can I hijack my own thread?). I will download 7zip again and try the process again. The last computer i used regularly was the commodore 64C (seriously). After that I did not use a computer. I thought i could not afford one so I did not buy one. I am basically self taught in what i know which is the basics. But sometimes I am scared with messing in the "guts" of the computer thinking i may mess it up. So back in 2005 i thought it would be prudent to know how to use a computer. For what it is worth I am self taught in what i know so far. It is a good thing i did because for my job I need to know how to use one. any thoughts on how I can increase my confidence in the computer? By the way long time lurker.

Hi rbenn55,

Just spend more time on it. Simple things like browsing websites, and researching problems yourself are always great for building an understanding of computers.
