Instructions
The instructions for creating a Zip file in Windows. The steps are:
- Create a Zip File:
- Right-click on your desktop.
- Choose “New” and then select “Compressed (Zipped) Folder.” This creates a new folder icon with a zipper on your desktop.
- Right-click the new icon and select “Rename.”
- Delete the old name and type a new name for your Zip file, including the “.zip” extension (e.g., “homework.zip”).
- Click away from the folder to save the changed file name.
