Wrong place

[tamaris]

I have inadvertantly put some photos in a zipped folder , how do I put back to normal so as not showing the zipped folder and seeing the picture instead, in laymans language please ? x

[VHG]

Right click on the icon and select unpack / unzip or whatever seems most appropriate.

[tamaris]

Nothing says anything like that :-(

.

can you just click and drag the photos into some other place?

[daffy654]

Is there an 'extract to' link in the right click menu? If so, that is how you unzip it.

[tamaris]

There is but nothing that seems appropiate

[daffy654]

What zipping program do you have installed on your PC?
There may be a link such as 'winzip' in your right click menu, hover over that and another menu should pop out with options to extract.

[tamaris]

No idea TBH it is not a term I am familiar with

[jno]

what exactly do you see when you right-click on the zipped folder?

[tamaris]

>>>>extract all

Well that seems a pretty obvious option to me.

[tamaris]

VHG will try if you think that is the one x

[tamaris]

No thats not worked still have the folders

[jno]

has that not extracted the photos from the folder? It should have (and left the folder empty).

[tamaris]

I can access the photos I just want to get rid of the zipped folder x

[ChuckFickens]

If you've extracted them and can access them without going into the zipped folder just delete the zipped folder.

[ChuckFickens]

p.s.

jno, extracted files from a zipped folder doesn't leave the zipped folder empty.

[jno]

sorry, Chuck, you're right. So okay, if the photos have been extracted, can you not just delete the folder?

At last looks like I have sorted it, thanks guys xxxx
